I cut the water for my boat quilt too short. I got lazy and thought it might be ok. Now that I have finished it, I don't like the gap. Is there anything that I can do other than starting all over or just living with it. It is hand quilted except for the borders.

Can you not cut a piece to fit and hand stitch it in, sorta like an applique? Just big enough to fill it in..... Think it would work. you might even cut a small piece of "Steam a Seam Light" to make sure you keep placement accurate while you stitch.

It's very cute though!
