Dangnabbit!
This is the back of a charity quilt for guild. I've had the top done for ages and am using this to get warmed up for other projects.
But, did I use my normal care in pin basting it. NOOOOOOOO. Since it was raining and the deck was wet (I usually pin baste on the deck), I decided to try to pin baste it on berber style carpet. First mistake.
Then the batting was slightly too small, so I tried to pull it out to the edges. Second mistake.
Then I figured I could handle any problems during the quilting. Third mistake.
Lesson learned (again): You pay dearly for shortcuts. I'll go rip now.
