Default Need Advice PLEASE?

I messed up on the border. Should I leave it or should I fix it? It is not sewed together yet, just in blocks.

Can't really tell by the picture. Can you explain what you think is wrong?
Might be an easy fix because I don't see anything wrong with these blocks.

I thought that maybe the black should go all the way across on the bottoms, but now that I look at it. You are right, it does seem to look fine.

As EasyPeezy said, I don't see anything wrong with these blocks!

It looks fine to me. If you were intending a Greek key, that requires linking with some going up and others down, but what you have is a pleasant pattern, so leave it be.

What if you turned all the blocks 90 degrees clockwise, so the blue line is along the top?

I think what you had was fine but if you do like PaperPrincess has turned them, I'd want the blue line side sewn onto the quilt edges. Whichever way you decide, it'll look nice. Let us know what you decide.
