Awesome and Awful?


Hooray for progress on the new mandala!  The top is finished! 




And then, there's this.  This happened last Saturday as I was attaching the last animals.  Only now after several intervening days have swear words stopped coming out of my mouth (sorry for the bad attitude, but ACK).  I don't know if you can tell, but this is four holes in my quilt top.  From my iron. After days of working with the iron on this quilt with no problems.  I'm refraining from screaming in all caps in the blog post only because who wants to read that?


I've ordered some miracle Bo-Nash powder and generated some test holes.  The only thing I can do is try to patch it with the Bo-nash from the back.  If that doesn't work, who knows what I'll try. What a mess.

  3. Can you integrate a tone on tone element to patch the holes? I would have sworn like a pirate had it been my project. ��

  4. I would be screaming and yelling, too. Any chance of applying a small appliqué to hide it? You're probably thought of that. Anyway, the top is awesome! I love the way you have overlapped some of the critters. Let us know your solution.
