Thems two pair of shoes:
1. Not only will it be "not extremely noticeable" - you will be hard-pressed to find it. I went throught thesame agony on my first few quilts. I thought that the MISTAKE would be so glaring that everyone would just turn in disgust. When the quilt was done, I would spend a long time staring at it, trying to find it. Your colors are so soft, that little blip is going to blend right in.
2. Getting better: with your attitude of wanting to be more accurate, it will happen. You will pick up new tricks (pinning, press so the seams nest, sew a scant 1/4" and trim if necessary....). Just so you realize, the quilt may have a mind of its own. I try to be accurate in my work and sometimes it doesn't matter what I do - the seam wants to be off. I will pick and resew twice. The third seam stays!
