Off and On Sophie

I quilted Quadrangle and got the binding and label made so when I get home from retreat, I can sew on the binding. 


I ironed the wide backing for the Friendship Stars quilt.


And got it loaded on Sophie at which point I realized there is only a little over an inch margin of backing at the bottom 😬. See how closely I’ve placed the top of the quilt to the leader? I know I should have taken the backing off and added a strip of fabric…….but I didn’t!


So as soon as I get home from retreat, I’ll get it quilted….if you hear any loud wailing you’ll know the backing came up short 😩.

  2. I always place my tops close to the rail, why waste pricey fabric!

  3. I hope there is enough fabric. I have done a couple that were close and just made it.

  4. Oh I hate when that happens. I do the same thing. I try to squeak by at the end. Sometimes it works out... sometimes I have to make a few stitches on my domestic machine. Good luck. It's beautiful.

  5. I love the colors in Quadrangle. Fingers crossed the backing is long enough for the Friendship Stars quilt...and we'll hear a HOORAY and no wailing!! :)
