No way would I pick that out. I'd either leave it or color it.

I would hate to be thought of as the quilt police :cry: - I'm afraid for me, I would have to rip out and redo. I have a quilt right beside me here that I did in FMQ and I did a TON of ripping out, and I'm so glad I did - I absolutely LOVE it. C9P

Oh heck yeah. Just be very careful and use sparingly - my experience is that the thread wicks up the ink, so give it little baby dabs until you get it the way you want it.
