    So, your blue row bothers you--I make mostly scrap quilts, and have to lay out the blocks for several days, to prevent one corner from having far too many green pieces. And , sometimes, I sew a top together and learn that while the greens are scattered, some other color isn't. That's when I find a seam ripper, again. piecefully, the old one

    I am not however going to pull it apart...
    I am going to do some creative pondering.
    Watch to see what I can ponder up...
    heck I might amaze myself !!
    How about a curvy vine made of green bias tape just across the one row? Sew it on first . Add leaves, and easy posies?
    Everybody will think you did it on purpose!

    Good idea - another quick alternative would be to slash down the sashing and turn every other on around and rejoin them with a serger, making sure the decorative stitch was on the top. This could lead to an interesting top and no unpicking.

    Perhaps you could applique letters to spell a word across the blues --- like S-M-I-L-E, or B-L-O-O-M.

    The butterflies just make it pop with fun. Way to go. If my brain were injured, I would hope to be that creative. Good luck to you and hugs all around
