Did I use the "wrong" side?

I would fix it, because it's going to bug you forever and it's the first thing you'll see every time you look at it. That said, I love your color and pattern choices. It's going to be beautiful.

It does seem like a lot of difference to me . I wouldn't think any kona cotton would have any difference in front side and back side. I kown a lot of fabrice are not printed so the dyes are the same front and back, but usually there is enough difference that you would know right away if you were piecing them wrong.
I would take it apart and resew, buy maybe first just to get that top edge down next to the other on and see if there really is that much difference.

I would take the whole top row off, take the sides off and totally resew it. It doesn't work for me that it'll go away and I'll forget about it or "don't tell anyone - they won't notice it." Sorry, I know and if I worked hard enough on the quilt to make it right I don't want someone not to notice the work I did! I left a mistake on a quilt and I remember it - oh, boy, do I remember it. NEVER AGAIN! If it takes an hour out of your day, so what! You make a mistake, you right it and the hour is over!!!!!! The only time I will excuse a mistake that I have made is when I notice it after the whole quilt is totally done. Then I kick myself around the room a few times and say "Never Again." MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! Been up since 4:00 AM getting ready for company and enjoying every minute of it!!!!! Baking, cooking, setting tables, putting down the Christmas carpet!!! We won it!!!!! Santa Claus - really sweet. Kids like it, Bess (the wonder dog loves it and we love it - have it out for two days a year (24-25) since 1989! Another tradition. Stollen is rising on top of the grate and still have to run to the store! Typical day at our house. Edie

i would leave it alone. Because of it's location in the center, and your use of solid blocks, it looks like a deliberate choice of colors/fabrics. I would not have looked at it said "Mistake". I would have thought it was a deliberate and well thought out fabric placement decision. Your decision is what will make you happy. If it will bug you, re-do it. Sometimes those unplanned things in a quilt end up being the best element. Nice choice of colors!

I just had a similar problem in a 1930's quilt - was so glad the top was together, but noticed one of the flower applique blocks in the center was sideways! It didn't take long to "unstitch" the block and sew it back in the correct way. If it bothers you, fix it. But it really doesn't look bad the way it is.
