I have a bargello that I had to rip every seam apart meaning every strip of 24 pieces of fabric cut into 2 1/2 inches by 4"s had to be resewn not once but multiple times. I put it away for about 8 months then took it to a ufo retreat and ripped some more seams apart it is now named "The quilt that didn't want to be made". I should have been ok with it but just like you I had to have it perfect it was for my daughter.
