She said always sew the piece on before trimming the underneath piece. Well the other 15 blocks went great. My next step was( I am sure now) wrong, I fixed the error with fusible web and then zigzaged to prevent fraying. It doesn't show much at all, but I think now, I should have made a new block. Did I ruin the whole thing?
    Here is a close up of the repair.

    WOW - excellent fix. You could have a new profession. That isn't going to show at all. You did a great job of fixing your "boo boo". I wouldn't worry about it at all. Your quilt is gorgeous.
