I think I would have left it years ago but now I have more time to myself I want things to look right and I would be picking it out too if I was not happy with it. Although I do not think it looked so bad. I came over to thank you for your sweet comment and pointing out that it is ok that I really did not get any sewing done. Ended up bring two of my grandsons home yesterday after the birthday party so still no sewing. Have a good PJ Sunday.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431119683829319380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819822382900769742.post-67012895543725817192011-04-17T23:27:22.968+10:002011-04-17T23:27:22.968+10:00Revisionist sewing is unpleasant.

It has happened to me so many times I actually consider the stitch length before I start a tricky new project, thinking the longer stitches the shorter time to "revise" them. Despite the challenges, this quilt is beautiful! I love the colours and the pattern -- and now it has a story attached to it too!Nancy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495672268045907181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819822382900769742.post-74115483150169484682011-04-17T22:41:13.123+10:002011-04-17T22:41:13.123+10:00Oooh Marg that is a tough job!!
