Oh yes, I've done that too... but only because the longarm was acting up. If the quilting isn't to my liking, out it comes. I always hand quilt the "special" quilts, and if that's not up to snuff, I take it out.
If it doesn't do the quilt justice, it shouldn't be there. If I can't take pride in what I've made, I redo it till I can.
And I learned the hard way that if I'm not in the mood to quilt, I shouldn't be doing it as I'll end up reverse sewing it later!
