Mistakes

Did you ever continue working on something, knowing it just wasn't right, but hoping that it would be okay in the end?  That's exactly what I did with the binding on this quilt. 

This quilt was claimed by Maddie before I even finished the sewing, so I figured I'd save a lot of time and do a machine sewn binding.  While I do like the look of a hand sewn binding, I'm not that patient, and neither is Maddie.  I think last time I must have made my binding wider, or used a small seam allowance when sewing it to the front of the quilt.  I don't remember having any problems like I did this time. 

So, I sat and riiiiiipped the entire thing out, started over and this time I sewed the binding with the front of the quilt facing up.  Much better.

More photos of the completed quilt soon!
