Oh for cryin' out loud! Why don't you try harder to make a mountain out of a molehill? I will bet that after six weeks have passed, you won't be able to tell where that backward piece is unless you mark it some way. You know that quilt is absolutely beautiful because of your "mistake." froggyintexas

I just wrapped up a yo-yo table runner. I found one inside out. I didn't like that I messed up but "it still looked fine." I left it. The wedding couple thought it was beautiful and that is what mattered to me. IMHO, let it go. Life is short.

Maybe this will make you feel better. I bought what I thought was a beautiful white on white fabric thinking it had a small white dottie pattern. Finished my quilt, loved how it looked and thought it was the best looking one I have ever made. I even gave myself a big pat on the back. Then I got new glasses and realized that my dots were really snowflakes. LOL I just went ahead and gave it to my niece as planned. I doubt she will ever never know the difference.

It was finally dry last night after being washed, so I was able to snuggle under it all night and definitely enjoyed the accomplishment :-) and no chilly toes in sight!
Thank you everyone for your kind comments, it's helped a lot to know I'm not the only one who's done it!

It was the last of the fabric that I had left. It was leftovers from another quilt that I made that was intended for my bed, but I made it too short, so ended up with chilly shoulders or chilly toes!
