I can't belive I just did that.

Been there, done that. This week I have been making 2 dresses for my DGD and sometimes I've taken 2 steps forward and 5 back, but one is finished and the other is nearly finished, although I think I will go back to quilting for a bit - zippers are not my friend. LOL.

I got my quilt back from the quilters and found out that two rectangle pieces were back side showing... too late to do anything about it.... was such a pretty quilt too... can't make out why I didn't see them as I had the quilt on my bed to admire it(before quilting) and also on the floor when measuring out for the borders....

Ughhh...I think we have all done it at one time or another. My handy dandy seam ripper gets a good workout.
One piece I didn't even notice until I was freemotion quilting it and it is still in there. If it was that hard for me to notice it, than the person that got that quilt will never know the difference.

I understand! Last year, I planned to make monogrammed 'hoodies' for my grand son and his girlfriend. Good thing that I decided to practice on one of mine! Did the whole floral embellished initial upside down!
Last week, I was sewing 3 3/8" squares of patriotic fabric left from QOV together for hst blocks. Did a pile, chain pieced. Cut them in half. Started pressing, only to realize that I had sewn 3 squares together instead of 2. Not once, but two times!
