Will turning the blocks around make any difference? Doesn't matter, it still looks great! Quite unique...which is good!

Ha ha ha..I may need one now though.. ha ha ha To think..I was enjoying making this one and WAS having so much fun. I should have known it was to good to be true. ha ha ha

It's a contemporary variation of a traditional quilt pattern! Which is my way of saying that I agree with what everyone else has said: It's a beautiful quilt in its own right.
You're understandably disappointed because it didn't turn out as you had anticipated. But I'll bet that if you were to put it away for a week and then look at it again with fresher eyes, you'd be pleased and proud!
A dear friend taught me the basics of quilting. While learning to use a rotary cutter and sew a scant 1/4" seam were important, the best thing I learned from her was that our quilts are always better than we think they are. She encouraged me always to set aside a troubled quilt and re-examine it a few days/weeks/months later. It's amazing how much better it looks once I have some distance!!
