So when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Great story and beautiful quilt.

Great fix know one would even know!
reminds me when I bought my first prom dress, it had a hole in the sleeve (we wore long sleeves back then)it was shaffon.
Got it cheap because of the hole,bought applique flowers ,sewed them on. Presto it worked. Got to the prom and saw my same dress. without the flowers on the sleeves. Everyone liked mine better.

Wow! Wonderful idea! And I really think it makes the quilt unique and truly one of a kind! Way to go!

I recently read somewhere that if you run out of fabric not to panic because a creative fix might even make the quilt more interesting. That's exactly what you did! The quilt is even better than it would have been without the fix. Very clever.

You did it! You hid your mistake and actually enhanced your quilt. I think it looks great.

That is so cute. What a great job. I think your little "goof" added to the quilt.
Great job.

The dolphins and fish "make" this quilt. They bring life to your quilt. You Rock!
