    Oh darn, that is so maddening, I've done that a few times too, funny how we don't notice till they're all sewed together, or sometimes even quilted... been there before.
    Beautiful quilt, will be great to get it done!

    Sorry, we have all been there, I feel your pain. It's really looking nice. maybe leave it be for a couple weeks and then tackle the turn around.

    I feel your pain, but it happens to all of us. Hang in there, it's a beautiful quilt.

    Atleast it is not quilted yet, right? This quilt is gorgeous. Take a break and then get ready for surgery. Hugs.

    It's absolutely fantabulous so worth the effort and love you have put into it.

    I feel your pain. I just finished a 48" x 72" postage stamp quilt top and wound up having an intimate relationship with my seam ripper. I feel your pain, but you'll be so very glad you corrected it in the end! I sure am glad I did. You've made a beautiful quilt. I love your color choices.

    It is a stunning quilt. Let it sit for a day, see how you feel then about removing the block to reposition. IMO-It's too nice a quilt to leave it, but that choice is yours. I feel your pain as I've done similar. Walking away for a day helps with the frustration level.

    Okay, I'll cry for you. What a beautiful quilt. You did a great job and boo boos happen once in awhile.

    It's absolutely stunning. Let us know what you decided to do. Personally, I'd fix it...too noticeable. But, you do whatever makes you happy. We all make these mistakes, some are ok to leave in the quilt....can't remember the old saying about God's design and all.
