Caught It!

 I started out so good this morning.  Using up leftover 2" squares from the Scalloped Potato quilt class, I've been making blocks for another quilt ( I think I mentioned it yesterday).  Stitched up one this morning and laid out pieces for another one.

Then I decided that I'd work on my blocks for my Judi Madsen Iquilt class using the backing fabric leftover from the I Love My All Stars quilt since it's still on the frame (Mo'e).  Found some 'scrap batting and laid it out... laid out the traditional block, basted it along the top and proceeded to stitch in the ditch like Judi instructed.  Got half way around when I noticed this...
my finger is on the lower corner of the top

and here's where the backing ends

I'm so glad that I caught it in time.  Yes, I had already stitched in the ditch half way around, but it was easy enough to take the stitches out - took less than 10 minutes. 

So now, the backing still sits on Mo'e.  I'm going to call Ethel to see if I can put her embroidered snowmen on with the backing 'scrap'.  As long as it's already loaded, I want to use it.

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
