I agree with btiny36. If you can make a useable block from the pieces you now have, continuing with it as is would be less demoralizing. You might want an extra border or wider border to compensate because the quilt will be considerably smaller than planned. Your time and sanity are worth something, and taking out that many stitches would not be easy. Perhaps you can get replacement fabric to redo the quilt you started and just use the odd blocks in a different way. One time I was given a stack of blocks by another quilter who had made a similar mistake. These rail blocks were rectangles instead of squares. I paired them with another fabric from my stash and made a quilt with alternating rectangular blocks instead of squares. I had fun making it. The pinwheels were from my friend's fabric from her same project. Welcome to QB!
