Very cute!! I would not rip it out -- I usually stitch it twice to get it smooth (and I put a piece of tissue or tear away stabilizer under it when I do the second stitching. I have a special food for doing the zigzag stitch that keeps it from flattening (it came with my machine).

Your quilt is very happy looking. That puppy is really cute. I would not try to take it out because you would distort and even destroy the edges of the applique pieces and they would look far worse with the redo. No one but you is really going to be aware of the problem. I would guess that the problems occurred by not keeping the needle down when turning corners or pausing when stitching. I know your quilt will be loved and appreciated just the way it is.

Wow, that is super-cute! I wouldn't rip it, but like Paper Princess and Maniac Quilter suggested, just go over parts that my concern you.
What a fun way to use a small amount of novelty fabric to make a fun quilt!

I agree, I would not rip them out. Once its washed and fluffs up it'll all blend in. One thing that I've learned, is that we may see every mistake that we make but most others don't. My boss thinks I should enter my quilts into a show, I know the mistakes and know that I'm no where close to that. Even though I'd be excited to win a quilt show I wouldn't want the pressure of creating a quilt to show, it would take the fun out of it. You did a great job and it will be well loved
