If i noticed it in the middle of this, I would leave it...but since it is on the "end"....i would be compelled to change it....i just ripped out a section of an applique that was "crooked" by only about 1/8 inch....but i could tell. Made me NUTZ !!

I've done that, but didn't notice until the whole quilt was done. No one has ever noticed that it was backward. I've seen advice where they say to try to use the reverse side if you don't like the right side.

The nice thing about fabric is that it has two sides. In this example it really isn't noticeable at all that you are using the back side. I would leave it.

I would leave it. If you had not told us I would not have noticed.

It looks like another neutral to me, I would definitely keep it.

I have done the same thing before. It never really bothers me. Don't the Amish intentionally put a mistake in their quilts to show they are not perfect? Besides, once you get the pieces all together in the quilt, I seriously doubt that the "error" would even be noticeable. I made a double Irish Chain quilt several years ago, where one of the blocks was out of place. My LA'er pointed it out to me, but it had already been quilted, so it was not going to be changed at that point. Even though I now know that it is there, I still have to look for it to find it, so it is not likely that anyone else would notice. (Unless you point it out)
