I didn't do that but it was almost as bad. I made a queen size quilt, all hand pieced and after if was done I hated it but I loved the fabric and didn't have anymore so.........I ripped the quilt apart each and every block that was made and then I decided what block to make using all the cut fabric pieces and now it will be a picnic quilt. Did I explain this correctly????????

Yeah, I've done that. I started a king size quilt, did a terrible job, ripped out all the machine quilting and sent it out to be quilted! Then I thought I'd start with a table runner. I thought I'd quilt around the leaves and flowers in the fabric... I did such a terrible job, I ripped it all out and just did some SID. I need a lot of practice!!!

Yup the quilt I did for my son's wedding (avatar) I thought it would be so much easier to just quilt by machine but it just wasn't going very pretty so I took most of it out and then hand quilted it! It would have been faster to just hand quilt the entire thing! It also would have looked even better!

I had to give up hand quilting but I have ripped entire pieces out, on several occasions more than once. The quilt on my bed and the one for my GD.
Usually now If I have problems, I rip after a row or so. A suggestion, do a small practice piece, say placemat size. Use cotton batting, fabric and thread. Toss in in the washer and dryer and see how it looks. I was amazed at the flaws covered or at least camaflouged by this.
