I agree with Izy. It is a beautiful quilt, but everytime you see it, you will think "failure" or some negative thought about DH. I also suggest that you grab a big glass of iced tea, sit out on the porch on a beautiful spring day and rip it out. You will never regret it. I just consider it a discipline for losing attention. I heard a quilt guild member refer to the process as "un-sewing". That sounds so much more positive.

I developed that philosophy when I was framing my counted cross-stitch. I knew that I would see that mistake for the rest of my life locked behind glass in a very expensive frame, and I would hate it.

I bet if we could count up the total hours that this group spent unsewing, we could make a whole new quilt. :)
