Default Should I or Shouldn't I

I am finally finishing up a kit from Jinny Beyer I started several years ago. It was supposed to be for a beginner so I didn't anticipate any difficulty as I am not a beginning quilter. When I got the kit I found some of the squares were cut from strips 3/4" wide and 7/8" 1 1/4" etc up to 3 1/2". The strips were then subcut crosswise into the same widths. I did my best sewing with a Bernina 880 with a walking foot engaged all the time? There final blocks turn out to be 17" square. But there are places where the seams don't match up perfectly or I have had to take a small tuck. Our quilt show in conjunction with AQS will be in May. Would I dare put something like this in the show? I've never entered a quilt show before. It did turn out very striking until you get up really close and look for the flaws.
