    Great save! You won't have to tell you made a mistake.

    I also prefer a darker border on a quilt. It doesn't look like a mistake at all. We will all keep your secret!

    Nice job! It's a creative way to tie the front and the back!

    I add pieces into my backing with almost every quilt. I think it is a fabulous way to use up the extra bits and add a statement to the backing. I'm happy you found a way to solve your 'challenge'.

    It looks terrific! That makes the back more interesting than if it had been all one fabric. Way to go!
