My goodness girl, you should be shot for the "defect", the one that I didn't notice until you so eloquently pointed out. I know,I know, I feel your pain, I'm perfectionist too and it can be frustrating at times. No one will notice unless you point it out, so don't point it out. I believe it was a quilt made to be loved, so let it be loved and quit beating yourself up. When my daughter was 17 she was home sick with chicken pox, of all things, so she was getting bored. She told me she wanted to make a quilt, but not like the quilts I made, she wanted one with just squares of fabric with no two fabrics the same. So, I pointed her to my stash and said "have at it". She tried sewing it together, but when I came home after errands one day, she had a huge hole in the middle of the quilt with missing squares. Apparently I hadn't explained how to sew the rows together, even with a design wall, but she got frustrated and told me to finish it. I think I finished machine quilting it about two weeks after she started college. I NEVER TOLD HER, but she had two squares out of the same fabric and to this day she has never discovered it. So, don't worry, no one will know, and if they do, tell them the "Quilt Police" were on vacation that day. Good luck, and I like the quilt, very nice.
