I usually scream, and then say a few******words.
Helps everytime. LOL
Walk away, come back another day.
It always works itself out. :thumbup:

If you have some fabric nearly like what you were using - you could make one block that is so close it is hard to pick it out and let it be the center block in your quilt! Then you could call it your Hide and Seek quilt....

set it aside for now, then have some chocolate, glass of wine,or whatever you sooth your nerves with.
Do you have any fabric that is close to the colors in your project? If so cut a couple squares of that and add in. Or use a plain block to put names, date etc. in.

Why don't you just use a solid looking fabric and use that block as your label?

Been there done that! I gave 2 projects away for running out of fabric and not being able to finish EXACTLY the way I wanted. I have another I'm still working on because I decided to take off the top row, (then I had leftover blocks and not short on one! lol) make bigger borders, so no one knew I'd made a mistake. Also, the leftover blocks went into making pillow shams! to match. share t

If you are that determined, I am sure that you will figure it out.
Stay calm and on track. Maybe a picture when you are done.
Good Luck.

What fabric do you need? Maybe one of us has the fabric and we could send you what you need to finish?

I really believe in walking away from it. This only took me some sixty plus years to figure out. When you come back to it I'd bet something will hit you that you hadn't thought of before. Of course there is something to be said for screaming.
