would you rip this out?

I just quilted a quilt with ocher (yellowish) thread on top and red thread on the bottom. Almost every stitch has a tiny spot of red showing. I love the look. Maybe it will break, but I love it now. I'm leaving it.

It looks like you have been caught by the swoop factor as you went around some of those curves. I used to have that problem of a tendency toward speeding up around the curves. make a special effort to keep an even speed as you go around.
As far as taking it out-- it bugged you enough to ask so you probably will not be happy unless you do take it out.

ok now I am really confused to rip or not...MMMM I think I will chance it and let it be, I really don't have time to do all this ripping out. so hope it will be ok.. but I will tell the mom if it falls apart I will fix it or make her little girl another one.. Good advice Material Witness ...it does look fine from the front so maybe they won't look to close at the back... I also will try to do better with my FMQ...Thanks so much..

I am so glad that I logged on this area today. I have had stitches like this at times and it is heart breaking, especially, when one is doing such a good job. I see that some said you are going to fast on the curve. I learned that myself and they are right. I also know that deep down in your heart you will remember those stitches forever. So, get going on take it apart and enjoy the redoing. I am sure you will be happy. That young girl will love this quilt forever and you need to make yourself feel good too. Please show again. I also have a problem with adjust the tensions but in time you will be fine.

I have made these small eyelashes disappear by very carefully pulling the backing and the top apart and also working the dark colored thread by pulling it so it does not show on the backing. Now I almost always use a variegated thread that blends or works with both the top and backing. It does happen because of pushing to fast on the curves..my first quilting had large eyelashes and had to be removed and done over
