I made a mistake.....
Been there and done this myself.
Ask yourself if you can live with it. I could not. I did the frog stitch, turned the pieces around and resewed and re-quilted it. I was happier. If it goes out with my name on it it has to be the best work I can do. I think and feel that our service people deserve the very best from me.
But I have also left quilts just as they were and embroidered over my "artistic choices" too. All depends on how you feel you can live with it.
Whoever gets it, is going to love it and appreciate it no matter what.
