I got today off to a good start by getting to the shops to buy the backing and batting…but from there the day went downhill, I had asked for 1.1 meters but the lady must have only heard the 1 meter and it was a couple of inches to narrow…I had another piece of batting that was big enough and started tying it through the inner/false back (for details see posts Part 8 – quilt engineering and part 8 continued)…I had the top row tied but found the batting was just to puffy and it required a lot more tyes than I wanted to do and I just didn’t like it and I haven’t put all this work into the top only to not like the finish…I have unpicked it and will deal with it again in the morning, when I will have to make another trip to the shops…..and in the meantime I broke my golden rule when cutting the outer border, the golden rule is calculate the measurement 3 times and measure twice so that you only have to cut once, the miscut is not disasterous just frustrating that I made no forward progress all day

It sounds like you still weren’t feeling very well. Sometimes you just have to let those days go, and start over. I hope you are feeling better by now.
