LOL! I'm sure it thought so too this morning! It got down to 27 degrees here last night & is only 43 now & windy. I had to shut one corner of the quilt in the car door to hold it down so I could get the picture!

It looks so great that I forgot what you said you did wrong.

The sun really does justice to the wonderful colors you chose! Your DD will be so happy with it! Please don't give in to your frustration: this quilt deserves to be finished with the same care you've already shown in getting it this far. Applique a little churn (or star) on any holes; piece the binding; take the embroidery floss away from the bird, and show us when you've finished it!

Have you been tempted to hand-quilt the outlines of the fussy-cut centers, rather than tying them? E.g., a running stitch around the flower, or dragon fly? It would go well with your SID quilting!

And finally, 27° F? Are you kidding me? We had single digit temps last week!

Yes, 27 degrees last night & we're in sunny Florida! Had to bring in my plants & tomatoes! Shades of New England! LOL.

Can you get more fabric online or maybe someone on here has some they would sell you. Do you know the name? Post a picture?

Thank you for the websites. I've saved them and will check them out. I'm thinking a bumble bee applique might be cute to cover the hole since most fussy cuts are flowers.

Thank you. I did what you suggested. The next new plan change is to pick up another package of binding after supper & a few bumble bee appliques to sprinkle around so the hole will be covered. Since most of the fussies are flowers, the bees will fit right in.
