Oh Crap!

Since it was midnight, I chose a baby quilt to do because it is small and chose my favorite pantograph. It is a large scribble. It seams to be easy and quick, just what I need.

Loading the quilt.
 Here is the chosen panto, quick and easy, never gives me issues.
 See how nice it looks with the matching light blue thread and nice tension.
 Oh xxxx! It is 1:00 a.m., I have one more pass to do to finish this baby up and there is not enough backing or batting! I should have checked better before I started. Time to go to bed.
 Well, Saturday morning I decided to take the quilt off the frame and cut off one of the sides that has a lot of extra backing and batting.
 After I sew the extra piece onto the bottom of the quilt I notice another HUGE mistake....XXXX! I sewed the wrong sides together, not the right sides!

I cut off the sewed edge and re-sewed it correctly. 
 Put it back on the machine and finished quilting.
 It turned out ok, It's better with this pieced back than cutting the quilt down which would make it very, very small.
All I could think of while trying to fix these mistakes was the quote off of Ever After, goes something like: After all I have done for you, you better LOVE and appreciate this quilt!
Top and bottom was donated by the DI, the batting was donated by Liesa. 3 Hours to quilt (because of errors).
