Quilting - Keeping it Real When It is all Going Wrong

So my youngest daughter's birthday was in August and she told me that a quilt top that I was working on would be a good birthday gift for her.  I thought that was a perfect idea.  And then I started working on the border and the backing.  Ugh.

I must have been brain dead because I cut the material the wrong way for the border.  I sewed wrong sides together for the backing and for the first time since I started free motion quilting - I had to tear out stitches.  And believe me if I tear out a stitch - IT IS BAD. 

Check out the first video in this series of how it all went wrong.  But even though it all went wrong - I still think the quilt will be okay.  :-)



I had a little visitor who also kept me entertained. 

I am not a professional quilting, I just do it for fun.  I am sure there are others out there like me so I want to keep quilting real by showing what goes right as well as what goes wrong.

Have a great day and enjoy some chocolate.
