Thank you all for your concern and suggestions! I tried the Q-tip dipped in water thingee on one of the seams and, after some time, it did work so I know at least it can be done......only a gozillian to go... : ( Think I'm not suppose to finish this quilt.....no matching centers, different whites, stuck seams!!! Looks like a fight to the finish so I may be back to visit again with yet another problem! : )
