question?
a downy quilt? I am presuming something like feathers?
why can't you tie the places that are puckered? I don't know what it is called. But there seems like there would be a way to save quilt without tearing it apart or give it to doggie.

Ugh...anyone else have days like this?

If you have someone near you that also quilts, maybe they can look at your piece and suggest a way to avoid that problem in the future.
or share some pics with this group and see if we can make some suggestions for improvements. we did that a while back with someone having trouble with some intricate blocks and we all helped her out as a group. she fixed her problem and was off and running with more blocks.
just a suggestion. My motto is to learn something from every quilt I do, and I truly DO!
