If it bugs you, applique something over it. A lot faster than replacing it.

I do that on purpose, and turn them sideways, and upside down and right side up, especially for children. That way there is always some blocks right side up no matter how you have it over you.

Oh, I've done that too! I agree that you should ignore it. Quilts don't need to be perfect to be loved.

After getting the top all sewn I realized my problem. Has this just happened to me or has this happened to any of you out in QB world. I decided to not correct the problem, a quilter friend tried to talk me into fixing the problem that would take labor intense work. Any ideas from you quilters out there? the quilt is at the machine quilter as I type. By the way my husband saw the problem right away! Imagine that! I thought he wouldn't notice this oversight. I mentioned I could fix it but it would take me away from spending quality time with him, he said ignore it!

Just declare a one block penalty on yourself and continue on!

If it's a throw, I plan to have directional prints go in all directions, that way any way you pick it up & use it, at least some of the print is correct!

Definitely keep it the way it is. Your hubby loves it, so that's enough. But also, quilters in, "them good old days," used to purposely put a block in their quilts that wasn't right, upside down, etc. It was supposed to signify that the maker of the quilt was less than perfect. (As mentioned above, only God is perfect.)

just tell him when his head is down .arms straight ..knees bent ..eye on the ball ....the rest of the quilt is upside down that block will be right side up
