Aileen,
First in answer to your query, that shortened cable won't be noticeable and it's just fine!!! I'd have to agree with some other posters in that the quilt and quilting are wonderful! Probably because you are "up close and personal" while hand quilting, you notice any little "mistakes" more so than anyone else would. And I certainly do not think your "mistake" is worth undoing hours of already completed hand work. In fact, I think without someone pointing it out, I would not notice it either. And if someone does happen to point it out, then nuts to them.
I probably shouldn't include this but as you sort of mentioned at one point, if we on the QB want to post a reply (other than a compliment), we should read the whole thread before asking questions that have most likely been asked already especially if the thread is several pages long. Yes, it takes some time but at least we don't have the same question asked over and over again. That drives me nuts too. So glad to hear you say "I'm good." Now you can carry on.
