OK, a little background:
About a year ago, I saw this quilt in Quilt Trends and just fell in love with it.

I finally managed to source all of the fabrics late last year
Shortly after that, I took a series of classes from Jamie Wallen. While I was there, I bugged him for a little advice on how to quilt my future quilt. His comment was "Oh. Oh WOW. You don't know it yet, but this is going to be a show quilt...."
No Pressure.
Fast forward to current day. I've got it all cut and I'm starting to piece. The ever present "It's going to be a show quilt" is in my head, and I'm super critical of my piecing.

How many of these would you rip? (They all have some small to small-ish mismatch)

If you ripped and re-stitched, would you:
- rip the whole seam and pin and stitch again
- just rip an inch or so on either side of the part where you missed and ease it? Is that asking for a pucker?
I'm so paranoid that I'll send the ripper through the fabric, and I have so little spare in some cases.
