Backing Not Straight

I just pinned half of a 60" quilt in the sandwich. Now I realize that it is not quite parallel to the selvedge. Is this going to be a serious problem? I hate to do it over, but will if it will ruin the quilt otherwise. Any thoughts?

I know it's a pain, but personally I'd repin it. I'm a little bit perfectionistic about those things, and that's just me.
I've repinned so many times that I measure measure measure that first row of pins, and every couple rows after that.
Find some TV program that you want to watch and slowly unpin as you are enjoying some interesting program. It will be done before you know it. I usually try for a comedy show.

I wouldn't bother to redo it either unless it were directional or pieced to where the seams from the piecing would look off. If I'm using one big solid piece for backing I try to keep it straight but I don't stress over it. You should be good in my opinion! **thumbs up**

Thank you. SInce I had already taken it apart when DH pointed out two similar blocks side by side, I left it pinned. Mostly did SID, and am now hand stitching binding turnover. It's looking pretty good, I think. Will post when done. Going to call it Flier Stars, I think.
