I have a question about my quilting I just finished yesterday. I do not like the very large meander I placed in the two outer border areas. I am happy with the small meander I used around all the applique. Can I remove the large meander only and quilt something else?
This pattern is called Poinsettia Wreaths from the McCalls December, '05 issue.
Thanks so much!

You can always remove stitches. But just how many hours are you willing to put into stitch removal? I think it's beautiful as is. If you want more stitching maybe echo the large meander making a double ribbon type effect?

Thank you all! I do like the ribbon idea and I didn't think of it. So glad I made this post.
The reason I wanted to remove just the outer large meander is because it's only a 50 inch square quilt. It looks much bigger in the pictures.
I am liking the idea of the ribbon. It wouldn't take long either but I won't use the quilt until December. lol
This is why I love the QB. All of you are wonderful!
