I will not hesitate to rip and fix (my quilts are quite imperfect enough without my making intentional mistakes), but I seriously doubt I'd bother with that one. The fabrics are so similar that it's honestly not that noticeable, and the controlled-scrappy nature camouflages it. It's also for a six-year-old who just wants something Mommy made. He's not going to be whipping out a scorecard. ;)
In this instance, I vote leave it.
ETA: Nice job matching seams. I know there are no Quilt Police here, but I can't help noticing careful workmanship and yours looks pretty darn precise. ;)

Personally I wouldn't worry about it, your son won't notice the "problem" and will be thrilled to have his very own quilt. On the other hand, if it's REALLY going to bug you, go ahead and redo it, but I think it looks just fine as it is.

Set it aside for a week and come back to it. You'll probably find it isn't as significant as when you were working on it. Yes, there's an error according to the quilt police, but it's your second quilt and your son will love it right or wrong.

Leave it and learn from the mistake. What is going to be accomplished by ripping it out and re-doing it? You know what you did wrong, you will be attuned to the chance of a mistake on the next quilt you make.
I must be blind because I don't see where the mistake is.

I agree with Thrums. Leave it for a couple of days and come back to it. If it still bothers you then you can fix it. I have found that distancing myself from a project and then going back to it will bring perspective.

In my young days I would rip it out, now however, I understand that I could of accomplished more had I just moved along. In addition, it is for a child who will just enjoy it not matter what.............calla
