It's your quilt - and you are free to do - or not do - what works for you.
For ME, having a mistake (or as some would say - a "new design element") I know about and can correct - and not doing so -
It would be the same as wearing dirty underwear inside out and backwards. It would bother me.
I loved the ideas of "I planned it that way!"
And yours turned out great!
That being said, my very 1st quilt was one that had sashing blocks. I had no clue what I was doing.. and one row was really off..
I left it, gave it to my mom. She loved it.
Fast forward years later, that quilt was hanging proudly in Mom's living room...
And the mistake "glared" at me every time I looked at it.
I finally took it, ripped it out (yes, even the quilting, and it was hand quilted) and I made it right (right meaning what I wanted it to be, I did it for me..selfish? I guess so...).
I took it back to Mom, her words, "It was JUST FINE the way it originally was!".
But now every time I see it, I'm happy.
So, do what will make you smile every time you happen to see the quilt.
Now I'm off to create an "I planned it that way quilt", as I REALLY do love that idea, and yours REALLY turned out great!
