When the quilt is turned down at the top. The fabric will be right side up! Maybe we should all do ours that way

We're always looking for new trends. You're ahead of the curve.

I have a humility Block in a quilt. It's been on my bed for two winters now. and THIS winter I must have changed the direction and ZAP.. there it was. Part of the border block is turned wrong. Even the LA'er gal didn't catch it.

What if you put all the backing pieces on upside down; then it wouldn’t matter.

Reading this especially helped me. I recently, read yesterday, cut what my brain foggy from being sick for too long was a fat-eighth, 30 of them for an exchange. I knew something was off but said, no this is a F8. Only to realize, uhmmm no and today I had to go buy more fabric, wash and cut to the correct F8 for an exchange.

So in reading what happened to you, I have compassion and also I know I am not alone in making big mistakes.
