    It took a while for me to distinguish the difference. Both are great, but I like the second one more.

    Do the other version next time if you want another. The second version looks lighter and has more contrast in the corners - possibly why you unconsciously sewed them that way.

    That my dear is your call!. It looks fine either way and no one but you would be the wiser. It's really pretty.

    Very pretty. I have been a little undecided about using plaids
    but I like that.

    I would take out the errant blocks. There are only four that I can see and the original pattern is very pleasing to the eye. Just so you know, I have had to to 'unsew' many times and was a lot happier once the change was completed.

    Oh yes I have done this myself but the truth is, it looks good both ways. I would leave it but make your self a note for the next time you do this pattern to be more careful.

    To help me from making this mistake to often, I ended up taking safety pins and using little numbered tags, then I would pin them to the blocks after I had laid them out so I would be sure to get them sewn in the right order, but sometimes I still need to have a drawing of the quilt in front of me so I can be sure I sew the blocks turned in the right direction. This has helped out a lot and I don't make as many mistakes.

    I would not rip that much out- onto the next project! Anyway, it is pretty the way it is, unless it bugs you too much...
