I've had lots of time sitting with my mom whose been in and out of the hospital these last few months. After many years of neglecting my quilting I decided to start again. Of everything I do it truly is my favorite. I got out a pattern out that I've had for years-- a miniature Baltimore Applique wall hanging. Just finished the last of the 9 blocks and noticed that half of the blocks are appliqued on the wrong side of the background fabric. The background is a tone on tone tiny floral design. I'm blaming it on poor light and old eyes. Question. Would you redo the blocks or finish as is and move on to the next project. I don't think it's that obvious. I'll try to post pictures to see if you can tell.

Since you can hardly tell and they are half that way just alternate the blocks and pretend thats the way you intended to do it.

If you didn't notice while you were up close working on the applique I doubt anyone else will either! But it is a personal decision -- how badly with it bother you to know that they are backwards?

I would put them alternately, since you have half and half - it will look as if you wanted that slight difference and planned it all along!

I would just arrange the blocks so that the ones with the background fabric reversed are distributed equally in the quilt block arrangement. I've had quilt kits that actually instructed you to use back side of fabric.

I think this is a great idea!

I would do what the others said, what a wonderful quilt with a super cute story. What a memory.

OH no, no. I would not do them over again. the back of the fabric will lend a subtle difference and it will look fine.

I have never redone anything! Too many things I want to do!
