Scrappy Mess Up

Ugh.  For the most part, I consider myself a rational, intelligent being, but every once in a while all sense leaves my body and I do stupid things. 

I put a heat reinforcement on the back of the fabric that had the slices in it.  The only problem is that there were actually 3 little slices and I only saw 2, so 1 of them didn't have any reinforcement.  I was so irritated about it I started sewing it closed without thinking about the fact that the fabric is a dark red and my thread is tan.  Ya- they don't exactly match.  The even worse part is I missed part of it the first go around, so I had to sew over it a second time and make a bigger mess of tan thread on red fabric. 

I seriously just wanted to throw away the quilt, because I was so irritated.  Plus, it was for my cousin who is crafty and sews, so I knew she would know it was a major error right away.  I calmed down and decided to give it to her anyway, because it's the thought that counts, right?  Anyway, if she doesn't like it she can get rid of it and I'll never know.  :)  On the bright side, I did use a lot of scraps.  Even the back was left over from the previous scrappy quilt I made, so we're making progress in the scrap department.
