May I be a great comfort to all of you!

I just got through quilting a little baby quilt - quite proud of it, if I must say so myself. When lo and behold I turn it over and find ... well check the pics and see. I laughed out loud and hope you do too - better to laugh than cry, right?
The backing is flannel and the little triangle is from another project that was ready and waiting -- too close to the sewing machine, I reckon. I'll rip --- tomorrow! |
Oh jan! Well... The baby quilt is just darling. :D
|
Applique the edges down and pretend it was intentional. ;)
Love the quilt. |
LOL at QuiltsRfun - then I have to include a little triangle applique on all future projects, because it becomes my signature design idea, right?
|
I have done that and its just a little something extra l always say. Shows you're human.
|
I feel your frustration. I did something similar - part of the item that I was quilting somehow got caught up and I re-sewed over it. I was about 3/4 way through when I discovered what had happened. I have just spent 3 hours unpicking it all. Needless to say I was not very happy with myself.
|
are you sure you didn't intend that to be a design element? LOL
cute quilt |
a pop of color, just what every quilt needs. great to laugh at oneself?
|
Perfect spot for the label!!
Adorable fabric - I love the elephants. |
I did the same thing on a charity quilt! Got to love our quilting boo boos!!!
|
Been there, done that!
|
Don't rip out the stitching! Cut the green as close as possible to the stitching and with your seam ripper or a long pin, shred the green fabric and remove it. It works. I have to do it a lot!!!
|
Oh well - nice quilt though! Thanks for sharing.
|
Been there, done that. The other thing I have done that maddens me is to cut a piece out and get it "just right" and then it shows up on the mat under a piece of material unbeknownst to me. Find it later perfectly sliced in two. Grrrrr... Glad to know I am not the only one. Hopefully, it will sweeten the rip time if you decide to do that.
|
The quilt is a beauty. That little green piece love it , just decided it wanted to be a part of it also.
|
Been there, done that. It gave me a chuckle. Cute baby quilt.
|
That IS funny! Please leave it! Sew it down~give it a kiss~say a prayer for the baby and send it on its way.
|
Oh well it gives it character!! LOL fun job
|
I think all of us have been there. I've taken to clearing my whole work area and a quick dust just before I start. Those few seconds probably saved me many hours of FROGGING. Ha Ha!
|
LOL
Don't you just hate that :thumbup: |
I think I've done that before too, at any rate your quilt is cute.
|
Cute quilt. Live and learn.:p

Oh NOOOOOOO! Great quilt and nice job on the quilting. I like Homespun's idea for removing the offending triangle if you don't need it for another project. I will have to remember that for the next time it happens to me.:D

Yesterday I was binding a quilt and discovered that one long corner had flipped up and gotten quilted in. I trimmed the errant fabric really close to the stitch line and was able to pull it free without mishap. Perhaps it will work for you as well :) Otherwise, you could cover it with your label!
|
The baby quilt is wonderful, and oh boy, have I done things like that, too! But you hate to have to rip out stitches! Thanks for sharing with us - we all feel your pain! : )
|
I agree with the perfect spot for the label. But if you really want it off, could you trim real close to the stitching, then fray and pull out the remaining fabric threads?? Ann

well when i do things like that i say gives it character its a cute quilt
|
Love it! Mistakes are so easy to make and such a time killer. Cute quilt!
|
That's funny! lol I guess you could always turn it into an ark applique to go with all those fabulous animals, but much easier, I'm sure, to just rip the stitches and re-stitch!
|
I'm for signing your name and date on it!

Beautiful quilt! Tell them its a whimsy........it will be something for the baby to feel of later.

Needed that little triangle for another project so rip-rip-rip. Didn't take long to rip and restitch. I KNEW that other project was on the table, but thought this was such a little quilt it would be fine. Okay, I was wrong. So from now on ... at least while I remember this ... I'll clear that table.
Thanks for all the fun! |
Oh no! I have done that before too. LOL
|
Oh my gosh Jan, you certainly made me smile! I am sure we are all chuckling as we have all been there one way or another!!!
|
Oh Jan! I agree, throw a label over it & have a good chuckle!
|
That is just too funny! You made my day! The quilt is precious!
