I redo small things as I go. Never was unhappy enough to take a quilt all apart. I give away alot of my quilts and I can never see them from my house and never see them anywhere again.

I'd learn to love it or give it away.

Me, too. It's easier to fix it then, than later.

Yes, I've taken a quilt sandwich completely apart after quilting it, just didn't like it.

I've redone a couple. Sometimes when I get to a place and don't like where it's going, I put it aside, read a good book, and let it stew in my brain. When I have the aha moment, I go back and finish it up. I find I do a lot less redoing when I do that. I hate to rip out! But I will if I must (O:

Never. I would just put it away and never finish it. I was that way before I started quilting, and when making clothing, if I didn't like it or it didn't look good, I just put it away never to be seen again. I hate redoing things. I will correct small errors, but never rip apart a whole quilt.

Oh, I feel much better about this now. I guess ripping out and redoing is just part of the quilting process ... And I guess I will not complain after reading that Pocoellie ripped one of hers apart AFTER it was quilted! Thanks everyone for your input.

Your not alone sometimes I plan something and then see something I think would have been better for my project. I have taken some apart to change something. Sue
