I think it looks fine. When you wash it it will shrink a little and get the nice old-time puckery look.
I bet a lot of people have done that foot bit. I know I have. I didn't rip it out, just switched feet. Either I'm concentrating so much on the quilting to notice the foot, too impatient to start it, or too distracted by something else to notice. LOL
Your blocks are lovely, and good for you for stretching yourself to try new things. Patience is not my strong suit either, and quilting is sure the way to learn it. I figure if I can laugh it myself, then I'm having fun.
Not stupid! Just a little ahead of yourself, maybe
