If the hot pink thread is showing, then you need to adjust some tension.... usually it wouldn't make a difference what color you used...

Instead of ripping out, can you sew over the same seam but at a thread's width to the left ??? would save some time!

AND save that bottle of wine for a more relaxing moment! Good Luck.

I would press one open to check if thread shows before starting to rip all those seams--

I would have to rip it out too. Cause I would know it was there! Let's have coffee and I will help if I could.

Don't you just hate it when this happens!

Press one of the blocks, if the stitching does not show, go with the flow. I use up what thread I have unless it black thread on white fabric.

Exciting times will be had with my seam ripper.

I guess I am glad you fixed it, but now I feel guilty because I was thinking if you quilt the thing with the bright thread it could look like you did it on purpose! I am so lazy, but you did the right thing.

Why? The thread used to piece does not show.

The shopping trip is still on and a few more items have been added to the list.

my cousin did that and for years i refused to wear anything but pink panties and NO white shorts, till my Mom finally got me to tell her why.

actually this is the best excuse for a trip to LQS/Joannes I have heard all day !!!!!!!
