depends on the intended purpose of the quilt--if it's staying at "home" and going to be used often and washed often I don't worry about it. I've also had a couple of UFO's that got started when I was first learning and just finished recently and I didn't bother to go back and redo that work that was less than stellar---figured it showed how I had progressed! And once it gets quilted you by be surprised at how much you DON"T see.
