Frustration and more frustration

I was able to squeeze out enough dark fabric for my mystery quilt.  And then, I was concerned about my light fabric and I was able to squeeze enough of that out too.  So I am safe on the mystery quilt front.

Now onto my more frustrating issue.  I still have that king sized quilt on my frame.  I am quilting a pantograph on my log cabin quilt.  In between rows, my friend notices that there is a pin in between the layers. Which layer I am not sure, but it is there.  We discuss where and how I will remove this pin and then I position the needle for the next row and start to quilt it.  Well, guess what, it was not the right spot to start quilting.  The current row is somewhat intermingled with the previous row. 

So not only do I have a pin I have to worry about removing from two or three rows previously quilted, but I now have a whole row of quilting I have to rip out.  ERRRR!!!

Carl asks, will you be happy leaving it the way it is?  Of course not.  It really isn't that obvious on the front but when you look at the back, it is definitely obvious.  I just can't see leaving it the way it is.  Thank goodness this is my quilt and not a customer's or a friends quilt.  I guess it is time to start frogging.  Rip it, rip it.
