I would leave them. It will be a good way to look back and remember Her. Maybe She meant for it to be that way.

I agree, keep the original work. And finish it - enjoy it and the memories

It was her quilt, so I would finish it the way she made it - you will always treasure that quilt, not the fact that two adjoining blocks are the same color. I seriously doubt that anyone will notice.

Your first instincts were "spot on". I aged with you & the majority. Leave it as she made it & quilt it. It's very pretty & I'd like to see the finished project!!

I would leave them. Perhaps she wanted to thumb her nose at the "quilting police"!

If I had made it, I would probably take it apart and redo it. If someone special to me had made it, I would leave it as is. That way every time you see the "mistake" you will think of her.

Oh, for sure. Leave it. That is the charm of something hand made. It give character to the quilt and will always be a reminder of you MIL.
