done that too -- actually you can cut the piece away from the quilting ! I used small scissors and bright lighting to make sure I cut accurately....then you don't have to rip the quilting.
Nice quilt !

Sorry, I haven't read all the posts, but my suggestion is to put the label over that patch!

Join the world of mortals Tee-Hee!. We all have done some, dumb or silly or stupid things at one time or another. We are proud of having another member. Beautiful quilting even if you added a little "extra".

Yes, that's an easy fix if you trim as close to the stitching as possible on one side of the stitching, then pull it away from the stitching on the other side. Funny though!
