Miscuts = design decisions

I don't know what's going on with my head lately, but  in the last one week, I have made two....yes...I said "two" mis-cuts on the backing for my Swoon quilt.

 

 

 

I bought 6 yards of the aqua houndstooth to make the backing.

 

One seam...that's all I wanted to do.  I was just a few inches short to do a vertical cut, so I decided to do three horizontal pieces.  Don't know what I was thinking, but this is where I made the first mis-cut where I didn't make it wide enough. 

 

Put it away.....

 

Then a week later, I decided to get at it again.  Thought I had it all figured out and did the necessary piecing and lo and behold, I forgot to add the necessary 4" all around for the longarmer.  That's another 8" that needed to be added. (sigh)

 

This backing was turning into a real chore.

 

Anyways, it is done now with two miscuts/design decisions later. Here it is (folded) showing the asymmetrical aqua dots.  I am sure it will look "interesting once it is all together. 

 

 

Binding was made (without a problem, thank goodness).

 

 

And now the quilt is on the "to be quilted" pile.

 

I even got around to printing the label for the BTCT quilt tonight, too. 

 

I am so ready to start something new.
