It does look a lot better with the markings gone. It's not award-winning, but it's less... less... choaking? Smothering? Whatever it is, I can't put my finger on it. I do love the curlies and I do love the stained glass but together they are like pizza and hot fudge

I had a similar experience with a flannel quilt, probably almost 1/2 very over quilted, what was I thinking. So I spent the time and with my hand dandy seam ripper, I picked it all out. I was glad I did, much happier with the 2nd time around.

Wouldn't "Quilted to Death" make a great title for a mystery novel? It is still beautiful and I agree with not getting the quilting out. I've tried that before and even with washing and ironing I could still see some old needle marks. I use the clear vinyl and a dry erase marker to preview my quilting designs now. What I think will look great quilted on a top sometimes does not suit it after I preview it. It has saved me some quilting mistakes.
