D'oh!

Have you ever been so intent on finishing something, but not really paying enough attention to it that you screwed it up royally?

I was trying to get the binding on my new wall hanging done and being impatient and focusing on too many things at once caused me to miter two out of the four corners backwards. Which I subsequently did not notice until I was stitching the binding on by hand and could only go one quarter of the way around before realizing what an idiot I am.

Which leads me to believe it just wasn't meant to be completed today since I have NEVER in the 13 years I've been quilting and the unknown number of quilts I've created (70?, 80?, 100?) EVER done that.

I have sewn blocks in going the wrong way, put wrong sides facing together more times than I can count, measured and cut the wrong amount of fabric oodles of times, but I've never mitered my corners wrong.

D'oh! and I was all psyched about getting it photographed today too.
