I did this one time with a double wedding ring quilt. I had big plans for entering it in the quilt show. I told the lady what had happened to it because it was pre-registered. She said,"Oh, I'm sure it will be fine. that might make it look antiqueish. Well, it did. And I won 3rd place on it and it sold. So, don't worry abot it. Looks fine to me. Besides, they can always use it to place in a car seat or carrier.
