well, if you thought you only had ONE mistake, now you have been told!!....as it is something that you are going to correct, it would likely be in the quilting part, which can be re-done easier than changing colours/blocks.
i would suggest that it needs borders....interesting ;


AND THE WINNER IS.................... SHADOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! LMBOooooooooo.... I put the backing on and quilted it and totally forgot to add the outside border!!!! I had it all cut and everything. You were all thinking too small.
I agree with all your comments about the little things you found while trying to find my major mistake. All those little idiosyncracies are just parts of how I quilt and MOST were done intentionally. The others were contributed by my dear friend and companion fibro fog. LOL It looked so odd to me, having the sashing all in it but not the finishing touch of the outside row when I spread it out to check the backing as I was finishing the quilting. I checked the backing then flipped it over and about died when I saw what I had done.
Guess that's called really getting in a hurry! LOL
To correct my error, I cut duplicate strips of border fabric; I cut strips of batting 1/2" narrower than my border strips; used glue stick to secure the batting to one strip of the border; then sewed the border to the body of the quilt using the QAYG method. I then added the binding in the usual way.
Here is my finished, but still not pressed nor snipped, quilt:

Well, I feel silly now. :oops:

Awwwwwww no, think how I felt. LOL

:thumbup: :)

And you can't even tell that your "fix" wasn't there originally. :thumbup:

Isn't QAYG the coolest little technique to know?!?!

It's a lot easier than it sounds. I have been reading and reading about how to do it. This was my first experience with actually doing it though. So I learned a lot with this!!! :D

Linda, I have to say we had a lot of fun ( at your expense I'm afraid since you had to re-do some of it) but for the life of me I couldn't see anything wrong with it hahahahaha
HUGS, Sue

PS. It looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I couldn't see anything wrong.

Both before and after are wonderful... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: You didn't have to change a thing..

Aww thank you, and thank you everyone for all the kind words. To me it just looked so naked without it's borders on. Sorta like someone all dressed up for church but in their slip and not their dress. LOL

Hi Linda, I musta missed the mishap and find and seek the error! But you fixed it just fine :) I have not tried QAYG, but I think it would be fun to try. Hugs,

Sharon

Geesh. that is hardly even a mistake ... many quilts don't have borders, just binding.

where there's a will, there's a way. you did it!!!

usually tho, if there is sashing, isn't there at least one border to give the sashing a place to end? It sure looked wierd to me with the sashing just wandering out to the edges and going nowhere. LOL

looked good to me the way it was, but looks better now
