I'm glad you decided you were not happy with them. I think a more linear approach is needed on the quilting, something a little more modern. I am guessing you posted already knowing what you should do. Sometimes for an unpleasant task such as taking out beautiful stitches such as yours we just need a little push from others to validate our own thoughts. Pinterest probably has this pattern with many different types of quilting for you to review. Can't wait to see your next version!
