Good News / Bad News

Do you want the good news or the bad news first? How about the good news? In the midst of all of the insanity that currently is my life, I actually managed to finish Marc's Quilt! It's quilted and bound and it's even been washed. But I can't show it to you yet which leads me to the bad news... a couple of the circles didn't fare so well in the laundry. So sad.

The only solution I can see is to re-sew them down about 1/2" from the fray and then rip out the original quilting around the circles. Bummer.

  2. You can totally do that to fix them. I have a quilt (from Julie- Jaybird Quilts - pattern) that calls for exactly that and it's held up really nicely. The fraying on the edge makes it fun and kind of shabby chic. Don't bum out yet! This one can be saved.
