WWQD? or "Oops, I did it again...."
My quilt top is done and ready to baste. I was pressing it and noticed that ONE 2" side of one cornerstone was sewn incorrectly and is a raw edge....The cornerstone is sewn all the way around, but obviously I put this strip good side to bad side when I sewed it.
Should I:
A) Pull the quilt apart and fix it.
B) You don't tell, I won't tell.
C) Turn it under an 1/8th of an inch and slip stitch it.
D) ?

I'm with Tom. I would fix it, but not take too much apart. Just enough to make the repair. A flap of fabric on the top of my quilt with tempt me to pick at it, even quilted down.

If it's at the edge I would fix it. If it is in the body of the quilt, I would clip the stitching, put the seams in the correct position and use an invisible hand ladder stitch to do the seam. If I remember right the edge has large white triangles with bias edges and I would worry they might stretch if the quilt was taken apart and resewn.

This is an easy fix....ask me ....no don't. Gently, take out the stitches and rearrange it so that it is correct. It will take little time but use tiny stitches and iron it when you have it done and no one will ever notice it....don't ask me how.... oh, it has happened to me two or three times and with a small needle and delicate work....it will not show when you are done.
