Pam, I love that block! Oh heck, sometimes you just have to leave them. You can help it with your quilting design some to draw attention away from the missed point. But then we can't ALL be perfect ALL the time, right? I don't think its that bad anyway. The quilt is gonna be beautiful!

Nope, I don't do perfect. I about drove myself crazy trying to not miss any points in a quilt. I meticulously squared every block, stretched and shrunk if needed, and still there were things that were not perfect.
I'm fine with it and I'd rather enjoy doing it than worry over every tiny little imperfection.
There was some quilt show, can't remember which one, that I was looking at the winners and there was one that won first place for "Precision in Piecing". After a moment I thought... I don't know if I would want to win an award for that.

What a gorgeous block!
Actually, when you think about it, there are so many places it's possible to mess up on a block that it's a miracle that any quilts ever get made! And yet they do! You are your own worst critic--nobody else will ever see your goof--I know this because it's what my husband tells me about every single quilt I ever made. Yet somehow when I look at my quilts, all I see are the mistakes! Hardly seems fair, huh? Frankly, I can't see your "mistake" and I doubt anyone else will, either.
