Some really unique quilts have come about because a row or block was "misplaced" or turned a "wrong" direction. Your top may not look like the pattern photo but I would guess there is nothing in the instructions that says you can't make changes where you want. (even if they are not intentional changes)
If this is a donation quilt, there is someone out there in need of a quilt to call their very own. They won't know what you meant it to look like --- they will just be proud that someone cared enough to make it. Good for you.
