In my case, it's a wall hanging and won't be getting washed on a regular basis, but it was much easier than picking out all the tiny pieces of paper.
Great job on your quilt!

Oh my, that is just the quilt to look at on this icy cold day here in St. Louis. Really makes me want to be anywhere else that is warm where I don't have to look like a Michelin Man when I go outdoors!
I love pping and this sure looks like fun to do!

Thanks for the wonderful feedback! I brought this in to work to show off and while I was mentally figuring out how I was going to quilt it, I noticed a mistake. Huge to me, probably not to others. I'm working on the fix and will post before/after closeups of how I am fixing it. If I had to tear it all apart, I probably wouldn't have continued at this time.
