If it would always bug you, take it out and fix. Otherwise, go on. It took me a while to see what was the problem.

I'd fix it. You put so much work and planning into the quilt top, you might never enjoy it fully. I hate to rip but always glad that I did when finished.

Thanks. FYI: the inner scrappy border is done using adding machine tape. I got that idea from someone on the board--said her husband does that for her. It is a little tedious!

Gorgeous quilt!!! My answer would be to fix it, only b/c it would drive me nuts. I know myself :)

I think it depends on the purpose for which it was made and if it will drive you crazy leaving it alone. I think it is beautiful the way it is but I might not be able to let it go.

It's too beautiful not to fix. Wouldn't take long and you will have removed that little "nagging feeling" from your life. Let us know whatever you decide to do. After all, it is YOUR quilt.
