I agree with everyone about leaving it. That being said, I thought I'd share one of my experiences. After my quilt came back from the quilter's I found one block upside down. It really bothered me, so I made another block and appliqued it on top. Then I re-quilted the block. It ended up looking good.

if it was a lap quilt it should have been ignored. they get put on upside down a lot. and Yes i'm sure we've all done that one time or another. I did a king size of different blocks and one was a T block. one T was wrong and my hubby pointed that out quickly. I did fix it though. had to on that one.

I just started a Braid quilt and one fabric with cats on it is facing the opposite direction from what I wanted. I decided to leave it. Once it is done, the quilt will be turned in every direction when it's used. I used to stress over stuff like this, but as you said, it would be labor intensive to change it.

The only time that I worry about direction is if the quilt will always be used in the same configuration, for instance a wall hanging or a bed quilt. If it's a throw, I plan to have directional prints go in all directions, that way any way you pick it up & use it, at least some of the print is correct!

If it were a wall hanging it might make a difference because that if viewed in one direction but with a quilt that you throw and snuggle up with who cares about the direction. I just grab and snuggle and the top becomes whatever edge is closest to my chin. With your quilt no matter which way you grab it some are always in the right direction.

Just tell him that's your "keeping me humble" block! A good reminder, every time you look at it.

i've also cut directional fabric the wrong way, i was heartbroken but learned a expensive lesson.

Atleast you noticed it before quilting it, no me. Just the opposite, wait until it is quilted and the binding one, then see my blunder. As mentioned before, it is a good conversation starter, LOL. However I find most people don't notice unless I point it out.

If all the blocks are cut the same direction, even if it's wrong, I would ignore it! Why stress over something that doesn't matter??

Only GOD can make something perfect! Every quilt should have at least one mistake (noticeable or not).......just relax and enjoy......if anyone comments, tell them it was done intentionally.....
