Deb, I made the same mistake too. And I was in a hurry so I thought I's sew it up anyway. Was I ever sorry. It is definitely worth enduring the task of re-ironing in order to make your blocks nest together better.
Kiffie your quilt is beautiful and one would never know the trials you had with it.

I consider it a lesson learned. I began the process last evening and hope to have the process finished by the time the weekend is over. I'm looking forward to enjoying a completed top in the near future!

I love this advice.

I have let a few here and there go and after quilting, washing and drying no one would ever guess. Glad to hear you are 'fixing' it. You will probably be happier with it.
I do my own quilting.

I actually might have used that hammer method instead of re-making/fixing blocks had I known of it! Just not sure it would've been seams I pounded on or...
