First Finish Of 2024
Hmmm, where did this pattern come from? I watch so many YouTube videos for inspiration. When I locate it, I'll post the source.
A major blunder occurred when this quilt was on the longarm frame, I ran short of backing! I accidentally measured the shorter side twice, it doesn't pay to be hasty. I took it off the frame and added a section. Since it was such a ridiculous mistake, I decided to own it and attach a completely different fabric.
After the quilt was finished, I discovered that there is a way of adding more backing without taking it off the frame. Oh well, lesson learned.
I hope to not make that error again. That's why they always say to measure twice, cut once.
This quilt will most likely be donated.
