This was a hand pieced, hand quilted Irish chain in 1.5 inch squares. Was I kidding myself or what. I counted 30 fabrics that needed to be replaced. Once I got it home and laid it on the floor, I found over 60 squares. OUCH!!!!! But I found fabric that would work, gingerly took out the bad fabrics and replaced them with new, hand stitching them back into place. Will never do that again.
