Thanks everybody for the great suggestions and honest opinions. I have completed just 5 blocks for this quilt - and every block will be different. The blocks will have a purple latice work around them with green cornerstones. Just to put it in perspective I put the 5 blocks on the purple fabric and this is what it looks like:

The final quilt will be 8 inch blocks, 7 blocks by 7 blocks. It will have a lattice and cornerstones, and a 6 inch wide floral border. The finished quilt size will be 80 1/2 inches by 80 1/2 inches.
My DH is telling me just to get over it - this is still a 'novice quilt' so just live with the mistakes - it will make a great story someday (I think he is tired of me bemoaning of what to do with this block).
