You really have to laugh about it.
Been there, done that.
And in this case, yeah, I would reverse sew it. Unless you change the outside blocks to make a complete X with dark lines going through the whole quilt.
Without that, the 2nd design, as is, is just not as defined as the first one, and looks a bit too scrappy.
So, what's your favorite type of seam ripper? :wink:
And seems I'm in the minority. And so it goes. ;) ;)

I agree.
I would take it out and do it the way that was planned.

This has a very interesting effect and is definantly a stand out quilt. I like it, but it really is up to you if you want to change it in your heart, maybe that is what you should do. I have pulled apart quilts before, it isn't fun. To say the least.
Let us know what you do. I am going to watch the thread to see.
