    Patience! It sounds like you have it in hand. Can't wait to see the finished project!

    I think we've all been there and done that at some point in our quilting journey. Sorry, sounds like a great project, even if you do have to back up and start again. I applaud what you've done so far - it's encouraging to step outside our comfort zone now and again.

    I'll see if I can attach a picture of what I'm aiming for. There will be a white on whitborder followed by the wedge border then another white on white border and finally a 6" final border of this beautiful batik that has a brown background but includes every color in the quilt. I got the top wedge border put together today and need to figure out the width of the first white on white border. You're only seeing part of the panel. Forgot to add. There was a stain on the panel that wouldn't wash out so I appliqued the heart over it. First time I ever appliqued something. I could have made this project so much easier...

    You are doing great on it & a great save. You will find, as time goes by, that there will be lots of oops in quilting. Sometimes you can grin & bear it & finish the quilt or make a design change. Other times you just can't let it go & rip & fix it.

    I'm sorry you got bumfuzzled by the pattern but I share your love of Bassets and wanted to thank you for helping the rescue. Doug, the Basset is my avatar and we'll be going for a little rescued girl Basset sometime this next year.
