I definitely would not trim the entire side, because that would be more noticeable.

Personally I know for certain fact I'd have just shaved the spot and bound it up, because I've done that before! I'm of the "finished is better than perfect" stripe.
I think your patch looks really nice though - since you did decide to patch it I think you made the right decision to make the patch match all the colors instead of just being one color.

I am with dunster and RST, for a home use huggie, I'd just trim that little bit and be comfortable knowing that no one is going to take a measuring tape to it to discover my secret!!
