Don't give up..unsew it..use a spray bottle with water..let it dry..resew it and then launder it..it'll be fine..personally when all that is done..you are a real quilter..lol..I guess I'm an older quilter or been at it longer than you and I make mistakes a lot..some of my best designs have come from a mistake..so don't fret and please don't give up..newer quilter's get hung up too much on tradition..you will be fine and he will love it !!
