Been there and done something like that, but that doesn't help much. Wish I could help you take seams out. Try to find some humor in it and remember you can laugh about it in the future.

Can you afford to lose 1/2 inch on each strip? If so, don't rip the stitches out....just cut them off! That's what I would do!

We all have made mistakes and I know I'll make lots more. Just learn from them and carry on!

I'm with Charity Crafter. Just make it into another quilt, and buy more jelly rolls or fabric to cut and make the king-sized one.

I would love to say that I would never have done such a thing, but the truth is, especially when I get in a hurry, I am likely to mess up worse than ever! I would try and make lemonade out of lemons, and re-design at this point. I don't think I could handle that much ripping. Time to go to Plan B or C, and then on to more quilting!

I know how you feel. I've had more than my share of those OMG moments from sewing when I'm really tired. I may make mistakes when I'm sewing my blocks together but I'm an expert with a seam ripper. LOL

Sorry for your problems. But on the bright side, it was a sewing mistake, not a cutting mistake.. When Im tired I usually make the cutting booboos.

It's such a hassle to have to rip out stitches. I would buy more if I could or figure something else out sense you have so many to rip out.
