It looks great as is. If you're an "A" personality, though, it will drive you crazy until you fix it. However, if you plan to give it away or sell it, in other words, let it go, then "let it go". I read an article in a magazine several years ago that said it was a common practice in our history to purposely put an error in the quilt to illustrate that none of us are perfect. Use your own judgement.

I used to stress over quilted items if they weren't perfect. Never got anything done. Finally my daughter said, "Mother, get over it." I pondered that for some time and decided she was so right. If someone wanted to pick apart my work of art, I would say, "get over it." Things have gone so much better now and I get more done.

So ,,,,,,, get over it. :)

Love the scrappy look fabrics. Showed it to my daughter (not a quilter) and she saw you don't get that extra diamond shape. If you could, I would.

Every quilt is unique whose to say that it is wrong. No one would even notice unless you point it out. I think that it is beautiful. Thx for sharing. Lura
