Are you one of those who washes your quilt right away to get the crinkled look? If you are then leave it be, you will never see it! If you're not then I would just let it be anyway because it might be worse the next time. So sorry this happened to you.

we'd need more information to give accurate advice.
is it cotton batting? polyester? a blend?
it appears to have been quilted without using a walking foot.
is that true?
did you baste it?
did you baste it enough?
it looks as though the top tension is off by just a smidge.
that said, i wouldn't rip it; and my friends harrass me all the time about being too picky.
it doesn't look as you hoped/expected, but it does not look bad at all.
as Arrianna pointed out, once it has made a trip through the laundry, the "problem that isn't really a problem" will disappear.

Can you be sure it won't look worse after you take it out and redo it? On of the problems you will encounter is having a very small space to work in because of the restriction of other quilted areas.

I think it is fine and would definitely leave it. As others have said it won't matter once the quilt has been washed. Looking at your photo, I think that you might try lengthening your stitch next time. I go from 3 to 3.5 on straight line quilting (2 for piecing) on my machine.
