I don't have a picture, either, but this should make you feel a bit better.
One time I was making a quilt with 3" squares and one of the fabrics looked like dark aqua from one direction and nearly black from the other. Not realizing that quilting cotton could have nap, too, I didn't see it until I was nearly done. It was in the middle of the quilt, looking for all the world like a black hole. So, I bit the bullet and very carefully loosened and tied off the surrounding seams. This took a Long Time because the quilt top was big and bulky.
Then, I very carefully reset the square and restored the seams - the Very Same Way.
Hugs,
Charlotte

OK I am going to confess. It took me about 3 or 4 minutes to see what you thought was wrong. I just thought it was another design. Show us the quilt when you are finished, please. I think that we all have done the same thing but......God love you I never took pictures of them. BrendaK

I was sewing a similar block with two-fabric rails with a solid and print where your white squares are, and flipped half the rails on the center row so the print fabric was facing out instread of in. Luckily, I caught it while I was assembling the first full block, and not after I had sewn all the blocks together!
