I have been working on this little quilt, as I was getting down to the last border, guess what?????
Not enough fabric for the backing.
Here is what I did to solve the problem, but ..................

Pulled out the red snappers on the bottom and lucky, there was just enough fabric so not to take it off the frame and sew a strip on.
I pinned the backing fabric to the leaders praying that there was enough to be able to sew, and wow!!!there was, but I kept my fingers crossed all the time so not to hit the pins as I did the final quilting!!! |

This little patch was featured in BURDA a few months ago with the pattern and was designed in Belgium

That was very lucky! Twice I have run out of backing and had to unload, sew a strip on and then reload to finish. I measure every quilt now to make sure there is extra backing.
Your quilting looks great on this quilt!
I love the quilt! Glad it "worked" out! I like the loopies in the sash!
I love that pattern!!! I tried to find that on the internet the first time you posted it. Like how you quilted it. What a problem solver you are....:)
