    Like my Mom always said "you gotta do what you gotta do to keep yourself sane and happy" Only you know if you can live with it or you have to fix it, either way good luck.. Been there, I had to fix them thats just me not wrong or right just what kept me sane. LOL

    I totally agree, snip (carfully) and repress....will work, and you will not see the small oops !!!!!

    I'd snip and re-iron, pressing to the dark. If it doesn't bother you, I'd leave it alone and go merrily on my way to finishing it!

    YES!!!! This really works! I've done it MANY times and once you have the thickness of the batting to contend with, it is absolutely NOT even an issue!!!!!!

    It's not always possible to press to the light side and if you were a person that presses seams open one would be to the light side. I wouldn't worry as I don't find things likke that noticesable when they are quilted.

    Been there, done that, too. I would just keep going. Why go thru all the snipping and repressing. I don't like those 'extra snips' anyway; to me it takes away the strength of the fabric. It will work out just fine. Thanks for sharing your picture. I like your quilt. Haven't done the Jacob's ladder for MANY years.

    ditto. only you or the quilt police will notice
