The looming deadline for the Double the Plus quilt resulted in more cutting and sewing. I am this close to being short of white fabric for the outer border, but until the top is completed, it isn't a certainty. What is a certainty is that rushing causes mistakes. Can anyone identify the one in this pic?
Give yourself a gold star if you spotted the white sashing right side up instead of right side down. I was able to simply open the short seam of the solid sashing and just enough of the long join to resew and bring the seam to back where it belonged--the benefit of solid fabric! There was a second fail while stitching what I thought was a completed cross block row, but I was short one cross block. Luckily scraps were quickly cut and sewed and the last block attached. Batting will need to be purchased before final sandwich assembly and quilting. I have already made the binding.

When I find myself making multiple errors I wonder if I should be allowed in my sewing room when I am obviously so distracted--but that is when I need the therapy the most!! :)
Dane is a handsome little guy, and it looks like he comes by it honestly.
You are having way too much fun with the cross-stitch. Those are cute patterns.
I have been away from blogs for several weeks. I hope you are feeling better.
Great rescue. You'd have been very cross with your self if it had escaped!
Cute wee cross stitch kits.
Ooh! I wouldn't have been able to pass up the embroidery kits either!
I made a similar mistake once on the backing!!! It was such a job to unbaste what had been started!
