I would think it would look nice and not a total loss taking it all apart. lots of people make a patch work on back of quilts as well. Good luck what ever you chose? :)

OK I will try to explain a bit better.
I embroideried nine blocks with designs and words on them.Put 2 1/2 in stripping around each block.Then added the four in borders.Then I stitched inside 1/4 of an inch of each embroideried block and 1/4 in. on the outside of the blocks. Then across and down the sides.SO all I had left to quilt were the borders.
I tried to embroidery a quilt design on the borders but did not get them in the right positons.Then as I was trying to remove the embrodiery quilt designs(on the borders) I ripped the borders and backing.
So I cut the borders and off.Which also cut the batting and backing.So now I am thinking of zig zagging the batting and adding new borders and and backing.I believe this will work.I can't really get to it unitl Saturday but will try to find you all and post if it worked or not.
Thank you sooo very much to everyone and all your great suggestions!!!!

You poor baby! I think you could just add more boarders and piece the batting and backing. I am no expert but that is what I would try or bind the quilt as is. i am so sorry for your mess. I have been there and it is very stressfull. Let us know how you make out please.

SOOO I was trying to figure out how to fix it.So I cut the borders off.The blocks were already quilted but now I have no borders.How will I get the batting and backing and borders all on again?
I was thinking I could piece the batting and backing and just add the border will this work?
Is this clear as mud :lol:
