I made this quilt for my middle daughter Debbie ,last week while away in Dubbo in our caravan ,I used up some more of my scraps ,I also quilted it on my quilt frame ,and was devastated when I took it off the frame to find a fold in the backing ,my first Boo Boo ,I decided to cover the fold with the quilt label ,and this is what I came up with ,I am going to more thought into quilt labels in the future ,I am very happy with the result .

O you smart Cookie.Great Idea and I love the Quilt

Great solution. The quilt is lovely and great colors.

Excellent work!

Wonderful job especially when you said you made it while in your Caravan. Guessing you might have a large annex. Most Caravans I have been in not enough room to swing a cat let alone room for me to sew. I am a spreader outer the more room I have the more I use,

its about 17 feet ,I sew at the table inside the van , its an oldie about 1993 Viscount , we are very happy with the amount of room we have.I quilted it at home though.

Thanks to everyone for being so encouraging and kind ,

Great fix! You'd never know there was something wrong! I love the quilt!

Very pretty The label is a great way to cover up Boo Boo

Very pretty, I adore your quilt label!!!

Beautiful quilt and wonderful idea with the label. I never put on label because I don't like the rectangles. Your idea as inspired me to start making labels that can match the quilt and have design. Thank you so much.

perfect cover up/ you did a wonderful job

Very nice quilt. Great cover up with the label. Shirley

I don't see any BOO-BOOs - only INSPIRATIONS. Looks fabulous.

amazing fix - don't tell anyone! That is wonderful - I burst out laughing when I saw it. Good for you!! I know she'll love this quilt - it's so pretty.

Very pretty quilt and such a clever idea for the label.
I made the mistake of having a fold on the back myself but, never had such a great idea as yours. I must remember this for the future.

That happened to me once, but I never thought up a way to save it! This is a fabulous way to cover such folds, and you have given me a way to fix my mistakes too! Thanks!

Really nice save! The quilt is beautiful and your GD is going to love it!

love your idea and no more boo boo hugs

what a beautiful quilt label !!!!!! Great idea, and not only for covering up the fold in the backing. LOVE it! Flowers to everybody

what a lovely quilt. clever idea to hide fold.

well done Monika, very creative & no one would ever know! It is a wonderful quilt! hugs Loralye

That was a great idea! Great job!

beautiful work

Monika quilt looks lovely, and your back cover up is perfect, great job..where their is a will there is a way....well done dear.

Nice quilt and a very clever idea to cache the fold behind the quiltlabel.
Both sides are looking great.
Bärbel

WOW she can now use both sides. Clever idea. Hugs

Great save!

I took the photo with my phone ,I will take one with the camera ,and a bit closer

Clever thinking.. it is beautiful

Nice quilt Monika & good cover up although nothing is perfect.....

Monica - you have done a brilliant job covering up your little mistake. Love the materials you have used. Wish I knew how to quilt. Sarah

Brilliant. is it hand made,I can not see it close. it is so pretty.
Hugs Pam.

My eldest daughter gave me 20. 5,1/2" fq strips ,I would have liked to just join them ,but 20 blocks wasn't big enough ,I am going to have another got at this one ,it was so easy to do

Toogie ,its only 1 light and 1 dark 2,1/2 " strip sewn together then cut on a 45 degree,that gives you one with the light on the outside and one with the dark .easy peasy

I wish I could blow up the photo,some do some don't.Also,wish I was closer to you so you could give me the hands on experience.

Me too toogie, I wanted a closer look. i think it depends on the pixels of the photo.

that would be nice Toogie ,we could stitch up a storm

I am in awe of this gorgeous quilt. Your speed amazes me and that is a excellent fix. I love it.

Oh, my. You more than fixed it. It wouldn't have bothered me, which is probably why I'm not a quilter! The front is so beautiful.

There aren't any mistakes here, just creative, clever cover ups! This is pretty. :)

This quilt if gorgeous and I love your label too!

Ha! Great save!! I think your quilt is beautiful, and your label on the back is perfect. A little "human nature" needs to go in to each of our projects to keep us humble. It also gives each project that "something special".

I don't know how you make them so quickly.I hate cutting the pieces out, and it takes me so long to decide about fabric.I did finish the blue jean quilt,finally.I wish I knew if he planned on using it for a bedcover,comforter,I'd make him some shams and pillow cases or pillows to match, I am not happy with it,too much RED.

Lovely...you are on fire with that quilting frame!

Beautiful and CLEVER Monika :)

Great cover-up! I'll have to remember that when I make a mistake like that.
