Rewind or redo

this quilt was a mystery that was published by Jemimas Creative Quilting

This was an ongoing Mystery for 2020-2021 there is another started that I am working on now 

I finished it on Wednesday, or so I thought! I didn't like that I cut off the birds on the long borders but I was making due with what I had left of the fabric.

I started cleaning up and found more of the same fabric. Okay lets measure to see if I have enough to fussy cut. I did! 

Here is a close up of some of the fabrics I used. It was scraps of fabrics that I had left of other projects so if I didn't have enough the challenge was to use something else. 

You can see below that I ripped the 2 long sides off and rejoined the 2 sides with the fussy cutting where I was able to have the birds in full flight!

I also found a fabric sitting on top of a pile and thought it was the perfect finish. I measured and sure enough I had JUST enough to make mitred borders.

I am pretty happy and hope to quilt this in the winter to come. 

I just get so lucky sometimes when finishing with my borders, even though rethinking undoing and recreating can be part of the process I still feel lucky! 

I hope you have a lucky day too
