    I think appliqueing NOEL or some other word over the two of them would be really cute.!!!!

    Hmmm, if it bothers you that much, I was thinking just undo the one strip on the two sides and reversing it so the red is at the top and one is at the bottom of the row .. seems that would be the easiest to do. ??

    I like the idea of putting a word on them. :wink:

    I think you will be happier if you fix them and just move on. Just what I would do.

    I like fabric-holic's idea
    an "amish" touch....don't they usually include an error in their tops for humility?

    I got it fixed. I took out one of the red pieces and replaced it, and also fixed it so that the strips line up more randomly. It was easier than ripping out the whole seam and turning that section around. :)

    Will have to snap a photo later tonight or tomorrow. I forgot to charge my camera earlier. :roll:

    One of these days, I'm going to practice appliqueing. It's on my "to do" list. :wink:

    Love that idea. I vote for it too!

    I think it looks just fine the way it is. Consider it your humble block if you must - but it does add character.

    I think it looks fine. I always say that there is a mystery in everyone of my quilts to make room if something does turn out exactly as I like. But, I think you should leave it as it is.
