I am going to take out some stitching I added to a small table topper last evening. Hopefully, you can start to take out the unwanted quilting stitches on your log cabin top and fall back in love with your first quilt. Please don't let this unfortunate episode discourage you! :)
Suggestions on this board are great: a good movie; being with a friend; setting a weekly goal. Before you know it, you'll be past the rescue stage and firmly on the road to bliss. This is only a detour, not the edge of a cliff...
Sew piecefully,
Kay Susan
