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 .

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

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.

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".

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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,
