Measure twice -

 

 

Cut once - 

 

"They" say - 

 

And I thought that I did that when I cut the GREEN backing fabric - 

 

For my binding - 

 

So I couldn't figure out how I came up so short that I needed to cut more - 

 

  

Then - last night -

 

In my half-awake/half-asleep mode -

 

I realized that I messed up! - 

 

I measured correctly - 

 

And I cut correctly - 

 

But  I did the MATH wrong! -

 

The strips were folded over when I measured them -

 

But I forgot to double the number when I did my calculations - DUH!! - 

 

So - I DO have enough strips for both quilts - 

 

Without having to cut more - 

 

Just like I thought! - 

I swear - my brain shorts out at the weirdest times - LOL - ;))

 

 

Anyway - after that revelation - 

 

I found some solid GREEN for the "flange" - 

 

And cut that into strips - 

 

Tomorrow I can sew all of those strips together -

 

And save the other ones for some "scrap" project down the line - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
