I guess we've all been there. I noticed it on a quilt that I finished quilting yesterday. I'm leaving it. The offending block is a log cabin block sewn in like yours, sort of turned around. But it's way bigger and is quilted with feathers. Picking out the feathers is bad enough, but then to get the feathers to fit together after.....no way. I'm not that skilled and I am not ripping out all the feathers in all six large blocks.
My mom called that an Amish error: she said the Amish believe that perfection is God's thing. So they purposely make an small mistake in every quilt, so as not to offend God. (or something like that) Since their visit to Amish country several years ago, "Amish error" have been our family's "my bad."

Going to be really cute! Done that several times...I leave them if not too obvious and call them vanity blocks 
I think I would tend to fix that one for sense of balance.

Well, I've been awake sine 2 a.m. this morning and I REALLY had to look before I noticed it. But it would bug me if I didn't fix it -- leave it a day or two and then do it. You'll laugh about it later, I promise! : ) Lovely quilt
