First off, good for you for figuring out your picture issues, hope the fix works! So many people having problems, I know it took me months under the old format to figure out my combination of browser/system protections/old camera. Even with screenshots posted, my screen didn't look like that. With the new forums, while harder for others was easier for me.
The picture isn't at all what I was seeing in my head, it helps so much. I rather like the I shaped/first picture but the other solution works too.
It's so hard on us when our visions of what we want and then what we get don't exactly mesh... I understand completely, and it only makes it worse (for me anyway) when it was a "preventable" mistake, but that's why they are accidents, sometimes things happen.
For someone getting the quilt they didn't see your vision, they know that there are two sides, one is fancier than the other, but both are fine whatever you decide to do.
And as someone who donates fabric, I can say that I am just happy to see any of it used, I am not counting the inches
