Please help newbie salvage quilt top. Thanks!!

I'm a newbie, I've been quilting since May. I designed this quilt top but messed up on my cutting. All of the horizontal sashing pieces were supposed to be 2 1/2" high. After I assembled this I realized a few are bigger, looks like I cut them 3" high. Ack - where was my mind?

I don't have the heart to rip this apart and start over but I'm very disappointed in myself. Can I possibly cut it down into squares and reassemble it so my mistakes either don't show or aren't as obvious?

This one was supposed to be a Christmas gift but now I doubt that it will. I'll probably just give it as an everyday gift where the expectations are lower.

Any and all ideas will be appreciated. Really really disappointed today.

Thanks.
