No, I would not change them. Sometimes, these "errors" are simply a way for the quilt to tell you its preference. Obviously, the pattern wanted to be on the other side.

like everyone said use them, if you don't say anything everyone will just think it was planned that way, sure wouldn't rip anything out

Exactly

Great minds think alike. I know that some quilters do use different background fabric within their quilts. I'm going with the consensus and spacing out the two backgrounds. I think it will be ok. I'll use this as a learning experience and move on. I signed up late to do the Baltimore BOM and have just started on June's. I'm anxious to try to catch up. Thanks ladies, you're the best. Modern technology is the greatest.

This is what I would do.

I know how hard it can be to get the right side of tonal fabrics. Have been working with white on white and really had to watch. I'm sure I missed some but haven't noticed any yet. I figure if I didn't have time to do it right the 1st time, how will I find time to do it over. Marge L.

I would keep it and don't tell any one about the right and wrong side of the fabric.

Ditto - lots of quilters use the reverse side in any case.

I agree with everyone who said to just alternate them! I'm sure it will be gorgeous when you're done, and your quilting will hide some of the difference too! :D :thumbup:
