Even though I've been quilting for 38 years, mistakes still happen. And when they do, they happen BIG. I was cutting away the backing fabric from behind an appliqué when IT happened. Before I knew it, my scissors clipped my quilt top...twice.
After spewing a voracious array of various words I didn't even think I knew, I tossed my scissors aside and decided to walk away before it got REALLY ugly.
And why did this happen? Because I got over confident and started to rush. There's a lesson in there. SLOW DOWN no matter how good things are going.
So what now? I'll have to figure out a way to appliqué over these sections without adding any bulk.
But that starts tomorrow...
