However, what I think is the 'mistake' in this quilt adds visual interest. I'd leave it.

I would have to respectfully disagree. I if left that as it is, it would drive me crazy until I either fixed it or tossed it. By the way, my stitch ripper and I are also great friends!

I must confess I have worn out more seam rippers than sewing machines!

Thanks all!

The strips have been ripped out, the mistake fixed, strips re-sewn and tonight I will attach the binding. The real fun will begin when I get to play with crystals and my brand new Hotfix tool!

Looks like creative genius to me! Beautiful! But I know you will be pleased to have fixed it.

I purchased this seam ripper to help with paper piecing. Recently I sewed some long seams on wrong and it worked fast and great.

It looks like a pet trimmer......
