3 cheers for perserverence! BEAUTIFUL

Sorry you had to spend so much time ripping, but you'll be glad in the end. Can't wait to see this piece completed!!!

P.S. I absolutely LOVE those 1/8 parallel lines "beneath" the feathers!

Wow! Wonderful quilting and amazing design. Know what you mean by seeing a "blip" that you can't live with and spending HOURS unsewing! Long arming is so fun--when you are sewing--but the unsewing is a challenge.
The saying in the long arm quilt I belong to is that you need to stand back 3' and if you still see it, THEN you unsew!
