Your quilt is beautiful just the way it is!!! No one is going to know where the leaves or berries belong, but you. I would leave it alone and not make a mess.

It looks just fine to me. I would just leave it as is. I bet that you will be the only one who knows that it is in the wrong place. Beautiful quilt.

Debbie! Your wall hanging is beautiful. I know just how you must feel. However, as many others have told you, I think it looks great the way it is. When I first started quilting in the 70s (Yes! The 70s) a wonderful quilting friend and teacher told me that quilters were putting in a "mistake" on purpose because "only God is perfect". This is a true statement and it helped us "Newbies" get through some tough quilting! So I would let it be and remember, "only God is perfect" and that reminds us every day that it is okay to make a mistake and even better if you can live with it and love it. Good luck.

I've taken a large circle off by reheating it and peeling it off while it was still warm. To get the remaining residue off, I kept ironing a clean piece of parchment paper over and over. It turned out fantastic - couldn't tell.

You're the only one who knows how you wanted it. Every one has their own way of doing things. I think it looks fine the way it is. As long as you don't say anything I think you're good to go. It's gorgeous the way it is. If it's custom order and the customer wanted the holly and berries on the sashing then yes you should change it. If it's fusible you should be able to remove with a bit of heat from the iron.

Ditto. YOu can't get the fusible of fwithout leaving a mess (ask me how I know). Just put some leaves on the end bauble and the mispaced laves become a design element.

I don't think there is any way to remove fusible after it's stuck on, but I could be wrong.

Just wanted you to know that I think it looks pretty as is.

Now don't worry they are fine as they are, it's your wall hanging and who is to know.You were happy with it --- so stay happy, it's great as it is Letty xx
