Ahh.... I love the Quilt Board! I'll be able to go to work, without feeling so guilty about entertaining this idea. I had been telling myself that the "right" thing to do is either rip it out and redo, or leave it alone. I HATE to rip, so I had pretty much resigned myself to leaving it alone. I think I will do what some have suggested - when it is all finished, wash it, and then see if it still bothers me, before I pick up pink permanent markers.
Thanks everyone!
