It's really your call. Will most people notice it , I doubt it, but you always will. I've been there more times than I care to think about. You know you. If it was all quilted there is not way I'd rip it out, I'd say that is the top and leave it like that but if it's not I'd probably rip it out. It is a really pretty quilt. I've stopped projects because I didn't want to continue or rip it out, so it sat for a while till I made up my mind. I know how frustrated it can make you. People have suggested taking pictures and looking at them before you put on the borders and it really really does help find the errors

Screw up your courage and fix it now, before you finish it! If you don't, you'll hate it forever. Once we see a mistake, we tend to fixate on it and not see anything else. This mistake isn't that glaring, but if it bothers you now, it will bother you more later.
