The colors are so pretty in that quilt. If it were me I would definitely redo it. But then I always redo if I find an error in my work. That use to drive my dear mother crazy, because I ripped out so much.
Your choice, but I think you will enjoy the quilt so much more if you correct the mistake now, and can before it is quilted.

Of course if you name it, taking into account the mistake, it can become a true work of art. Let's call it
"Maureen's Keep Me Humble Quilt" LOL

Do you really think Picasso meant for his women to look that way - of course not, he was drunk as a skunk when he painted the first one, but he decided to make people think that was all a part of his genius. LOL

Leave it alone and enjoy it.

I'd redo it - especially since it's really only half of that row that appears to be flipped. You should be able to just do that section and not take off the boarders all the way. Seam rippers never tell on us later.

I would re-do. It's not so much sewing. And I know it would annoy me to look at it forever, even if it's just a small booboo.

It's totally your call. Hey, it's mind over matter; if you don't mind, it don't matter!

Inasmuch as it is not quilted, I would take stitches out and turn it. You will never be satisfied unless you fix. Beautiful quilt.

Agree with everyone else, I would redo or it will bug you. Get out Jack (the ripper) and let him have at it. He'll have it done in no time and you will be happy.
