    Went to the quilting festival and had a wonderful time, came home and was ready to put the last boarder on my quilt.( You know how it is, you get all excited and want to just jump in there).Did the last 2 sides laid it out and it looked horrible. was not laying flat at all. Decided to take it off and just went with the other 2 boarders. Then I realized that the backing I had was not enough, jumped in the car to go get another 3 yards and can you believe that they did not have enough? i ended up getting another fabric but I do not think it looks as nice. What do i do? I have to get this done by the 15th, I do not think I have enough time to buy more fabric. It is going for a raffle and I said I would have it ready by then. I will post pictures tomorrow maybe that will help.

    i know when i have a deadline something always happens to make me stress. the best thing for me is to end up doing the simplest thing so i can to get it out the door. we are our best critic so maybe it's not what you planed but you can get it done

    I would go with what you have. I'm sure it will be fine. I can't wait to see the pics.
