    Ten years ago I would have said "rip it out"...but I've learned life is too short for such tediousness. Even with a trained eye if you hadn't said something it would have gone unnoticed. If it bothers YOU then change it...if it just bothers other readers, leave it....that way you'll get more time to work on something else or finish this one.

    Well the thing is --this quilt is for an auction for the Pheasants Forever Benefit. It will be seen by hundreds. So it isn't for me.

    If it were someone else's I'd say leave it...if it were mine, it'd drive me nuts...lol
    It really is beautiful as is. I seem to ALWAYS have something screwy to fix on mine too.

    It looks like a fairly easy fix (especially since I'm not doing it ;-0 ) I would fix it.

    You have spent a lot of time on this beautiful quilt, just a little more time will fix that one small place. You'll probably feel better to have done that since it will be seen by so many. Hope you raise a lot of money, the quilt deserves it.
    Just saw your post that you are fixing it. Good move.

    I would fix it if it bothered me and if it was important enough.

    *I* would leave it. I noticed a flaw with one I made a while back...I noticed it before I even sewed it together. It would have been an easy fix, but the truth is, I don't care that much. Might sound bad, but I have no interest in being perfect. The exception would be if this were a customer quilt. I will absolutely fix a flaw in a quilt someone is paying me for, assuming I notice it before quilting. If I don't...? Then I'll just hope they don't either, because unless the quilting is really screwed up, I'm *not* ripping out quilting stitches.
