OOPs!

You'd think I knew better!  I've only been quilting for zillion years--

but this one slipped right by me--

I usually make my binding right after I put the borders on the quilt top--

then press and binding is ready for the quilt--

did it this time too--Now, I'm ready to sew binding onto the quilt

after all the quilting work is finished and guess what??

Binding was short about a foot!

What to do?

There isn't any of this fabric in the major stash-

Thinking, thinking what to do--If there is any small amount of fabric left,

I chuck it into the bin along with all the other scraps.

I'm frantically, searching the scrap bin--pulling out all sorts of fabric

until...................I reach the bottom and there it was

just enough to make a 2.5" cut across and finish up the binding!

Whew!

Now and forever on, I'm measuring my binding to make sure there is

the right amount to bind the quilt!!
