    Mannn, doesn't that make you want to have a come-a-part! Takes awhile to calm the nerves when something like that happens. Sorry that happened.

    I feel your pain. I've done the same thing myself. I ended up cutting it all and binding but I had enough of the fabric to do that.
    I kind of like the idea, mentioned, by Bella to cut the opposite, diagonal corner and use the pink.
    I think it would look as if you planned it that way.

    What a great idea! Thank you, BellaBoo. I'll post a picture when I finish.
    Finished!! (With a lot of help from my QB friends.) With BellaBoo's idea of diagonal colors and Kathy's suggestion to cut it all off and bind the regular way, I think it did turn out as though I had planned it this way. The runner is for me but I'm going to indicate your help on the label. Thanks.

    Wavy end is from hanging crooked. Photoshop showed picture vertically and I don't know how to rotate in QB.

    Very nice! No one will know that this isn't how you planned it if you can keep the secret.

    I like the mixed binding, it was just the thing to add lots of interest. Good job!
