have you ever pulled apart a whole quilt ??


I did 



I started with these blocks 


progressed to this

But I got stuck right here , kept trying to love it but couldn't

SO , one night I unpicked the whole thing & now we are back to this 






blocks measure 16"

quilt 80" x 80 "

happy stitching or unstitching if the need arises

Wow--that would be a LOT of work--but I do like it better the way you have it now. Just beautiful!!

I'm contemplating this very thing! I have my very first quilt sitting in the cupboard and it could be so much better. I pieced it with a regular foot before I knew about 1/4" feet, it's huge and to be honest a bit boring. It will be a good 'sitting around' project. Good luck with your new improved!

Oh yes, I've unpicked a whole quilt because I didn't like it. It was worth it in the end, but by golly it was a pain!
I love the look of your stars on their own....I really don't think they need anything else as their colours make them sparkle.
Best of luck with whatever you chose to do.
