Watercolor Dragon Quilt

I learned the burden of making backing mistakes this week. A separate, but no less grievous error than my Gingerbread Lane Swoon quilt left me with the same issue of a wrinkle in the backing of my quilt. I decided to build character and take out all of the stitches in the top three rows to fix my mistake. I knew that facing the consequences of my actions (not making sure the backing is being rolled evenly when the fabric is twice as large as the quilt) would prevent me from making this mistake again. It will. I spent more time taking out stitches than I did cutting out the fabric, sewing, stitching detail, and long arming (all version) of this quilt. LESSON LEARNED. The clamshell pantograph is absolutely unforgiving. 

Here is the final, completed version. It doesn't show up here but there is handstitching (sashiko) on all of the white borders, and around the binding, with ombre purple thread.
