It looks like you might like contemporary quilts and if so, the middle piece top row is perfect. I like the shading and it looks like you meant to do this. As a matter of fact, I'd take this "mistake" and use it as an exercise in creating another solid quilt. Find the different shades and incorporate right and wrong side as an exercise in design.

I'll have to start w/ that I'd have to fix it because it would bother me. More important is for you to decide how you feel.

If you take it out to turn it over, lay it out, put the piece the "right" way and step back and look at it to make sure you're getting the look that you are wanting before sewing it back in.

Secondly - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the inspiration for me to use in the back of a quilt that I am finishing. The quilt top wound up longer than I had originally thought, and i don't have enough backing. This gives me an idea of something to do instead of just adding strips in the middle... Thanks again!!

I personally would fix it! it is a really easy fix- just rip out the seams around the block and re-sew. unless the quilt is too big then just rip out the row. turn the block around then resew. Really should not take too much time. It must be bothering you since you shared it with us.

I hate taking things apart once they're sewn. It looks fine - it's an original design.

I think it works well with the rest of the backing. I actually think it makes it look modern. It's placement is perfect! It's just a tad darker than the other background colors. I would make my backgrounds look like that on purpose!! JMHO!!!

my MIL taught me how to sew years ago. I learned that the seam ripper was your best friend and that "ANYTHING WORTH DOING ,IS WORTH DOING RIGHT" (her words). I would have to rip it out and do it right. That is just my Mil Ingrained OCD

What is right is what you like. If it is going to bother you, take it out. I would leave it as to me, it belongs with the other separate blocks below it.

Tartan - that's what I do as well. If there is any question as to which side is which, after I determine the side I want, I mark the reverse side with chalk.

It won't be very hard to fix and you will always know that you should have and it will bug you!!! Ask me how I know this

Wow! All I'll say is I would love to see the top! The backing is lovely. :-) Can you take another pic? Laura
