Remember the day before yesterday? I had Trail Mix on the table for pinning-hum. I got one 4' x 6' section all pinned and began getting the next section ready when I realized I had put the backing on going the wrong way! Today, I made my fingers very sore when I took out all the pins, carefully measured each layer and labeled the short side/long side so I didn't get confused again. Then, since I had it apart I thought I might as well fix the borders which looked like the ocean on a big wave day! So now they have all been taken off. Tomorrow they will be measured, and starched heavily enough that they could stand alone ~they are flannel after all and therefore STRETCHY! Hopefully, I will get them sewn back on as well. I have to say all this difficulty comes from putting away one quilt to work on another! I no longer knew the measurements, etc. Maybe, I won't make that mistake again? No, I probably will, sigh.

Oh how annoying! I always remember too late that I should have made notes before I put something away. xx
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Gail! I know all about wavy borders and a good starching can work wonders. 17C is a cold day here in Sydney. We did have one night at -3C. Summer has finally arrived with today 31C. Rain and humidity tomorrow. Oh joy.
ReplyDeleteI think we all manage to put things away and then have to get them ready for quilting/fixing again!
