Thanks, ladies, for the kind words.

It turns out I wasted my time taking the border off in one piece. There is no nice way to put it back on as is, so I spent the last hour with my seam ripper, and now have border pieces ready to sew on....again. But I am very pleased with this fix, and it was worth the 3 extra days it is adding to the quilt.

I am a happy camper. (I am also happy that I bought a new sharp seam ripper a week ago. :) )

I never really saw the face, but I do like your newer version better!

Great fix for something you found unpleasing. I agree with the others and like your new arrangement very much. Most of all I am glad you looked for and were willing to spend the time fixing the problem. Now you have a lovely quilt and not an UFO.

So glad it worked out! It looks great!

I like it either way

Well, now you've done it! really done it. lots of work but worth it. enjoy every minute of this quilt. you've earned it.

I liked the other one just fine, but it is your opinion that matters.

Certainly worth the efforts to re-vamp. :)

Kool. Like the second one better, and I did like the first one. BrendaK

Beautifiul. Well worth the time and effort to change it. How great is it to have this group that comes to the rescue.
