I would definitely leave it! It is a treasure made and just needs your beautiful handquilting! Love Robin's comment "quilting sisters", very fitting for the duplicate blocks.

I think it would drive me nuts to leave them together. But that is just me.

Leave them! The value is in the history not in perfection.

I agree. My mom is helping me piece a quilt and she put two pieces together that are the same fabric and they should each be different. When thinking about it, there's a certain charm to the mistake. Left it in, as it's just a "mom" thing and will be a memory of her working fast to get it done! Hope you leave it. We are too worried about everything being perfect. You won't even notice it after awhile.
