That is absolutely heartbreaking! One positive thing will come from this. You will be so vigilant that this problem won't happen again. And, your feathers are absolutely gorgeous. Such a shame to have to do it over. Another good thing, is that you already have a wonderful pattern established and can just follow the needle holes. As quilters we know the pain of ripping, although it is such a normal process for me, that I just do it and don't worry about it any more.

Bummer....after quilting 50 some quilts on my Lucey....and 20-30 on my previous mid-arm....I finally oopsed ….and stitch a big pleat in the backing discovered when I just had a half of a pass left...the pleat of course was in the middle...so, not having the fortitude you have to rip out all the quilting...which I could have had to do as Lucey has a 26 inch neck....I declared this quilt...a "cabin quilt" and thus will use it there, pleat in the backing and all....the front looks good!
