Been there, done that! Don't worry about it. It's a beautiful quilt! My husband often tells me no one is going to see the mistakes that I try so hard to avoid or fix. Others will just see a beautiful quilt. And you know, he's right! Enjoy your quilt! I like blue, tan, or cream for the binding.

It's not something that I have made if there isn't at least one mistake. Makes them unique!!! Just say it your signature, no one will ever know the difference. I personally would use the solid red (around block) as your binding.

Well, mistake stays - keeping Q anyway. Just can't believe all the time spent on this quilt I never noticed it - should have at least caught it when sandwiching!
oh - and any suggestions on color of binding?

It's a beautiful quilt and I wouldn't worry about the mistake either - I really had to look hard to "find" it, and besides you want to keep it anyway. I would put a cream binding, the quilt being darker, it would enhance it, sort of giving it a "face-lift"!!!
