We are all human. Sometimes oopsies work in our favor. Discover something new. Who knows, maybe one time that melted bit could be intentional texture to someone else. I've got a seriously warped quilt that is my first hawaiian. I love the design and won't get rid of it. It was my 3rd quilt and I learned a ton.

...oh, if you only knew! I just don't show off my "oopsies". ...except for the one with the melted poly organza. It's one of my favorite pieces and is pictured in my new book. I only melted a little bit and it's along the edge and the quilt is still really cute. Why do we point out our fumbles whenever anyone admires our work? It's funny, huh?

Susan, your quilt is really lovely. It is comforting to know that somebody as gifted and experienced as yourself can mess up too. It gives me hope. Rita.

The sheer fabric behind the daisy is linen gauze. On a similar piece I tried poly organza ('cause the good fabric store wasn't open and I was in a hurry) and I melted it when I gave the piece its final steam. At the good fabric store I found silk organza and this fabulous linen gauze ... love it ... and it doesn't melt. (You'd think I would know better. ... so embarassing!)
Quilt on! Susan
