[QUOTE=bkay;7832907]I've bought quilt tops at estate sales to finish. (Darn it, I haven't found any Grandma's flower gardens.) You have to be careful with how much time you spend "fixing" the flaws or redesigning them. Most were cut with scissors, so they are not necessarily cut consistently. If you end up cutting it apart or ripping out seams, you may end up putting more time into it than you anticipate.
I totally get your point! But since it would be only for my daughter's use, I would really take it as it is. As I'm not that good at piecing, I have develop quite a large amount of small longarm tricks to make wonky top and such works :-)
