I sew the binding entirely by machine, front and back, so the back side is always a little bit bigger.
I would leave it, unless it will always bug you. In that case, do it over or you will always "resent" that quilt because of it. lol :)
I'm sure it is beautiful just the way it is.

I'd leave it. I have done the same thing and it looks okay.
I have found, though, that when I cut the binding 2-1/2" and then use the regular sewing foot (instead of the 1/4" foot), it comes out about 3/8" and just perfect. You may want to try that next time.

My bindings are always slightly wider on the back than the front......it leaves fabric to cover the seam line of attaching it to the front. I handsew them down to the back.
Leave it and find something else to worry about! :D
