I just spent an afternoon ripping apart 6 chevron blocks because I had mucked them up using the directional fabric incorrectly. I tried to talk myself into leaving them; didn't look bad really but after 3 days telling myself it was fine.....arrrggghhhhhh...I just couldn't leave them. Particularly after I learnt how I could've/should've avoided it in the first place.....thankyou all the kind QB peoples, another little lesson learnt!

Yes, this would drive me nuts, leaving it wrong side up. If you can't stop thinking about it, change it, you'll be glad you did. lol

yes it would dmc......but I'd still leave it and then not look at it again!! LOL......but to tell you from what I see it really isn't bad.....just don't tell anyone - they'll never notice !!!

I have done exactly what you did too. I left it. No one in the world will notice. It just looks like a different piece of fabric.

So....what did you decide to do??

I'd either leave as is and sew all other pieces of this same fabric back-side-up, or else replace it. Otherwise, your eye (and probably only your eye, but that's important too) will always seek out that single piece.

It would drive me nuts , also. I am a perfectionist. If it were me I would rip it out . It's only one piece.

I would leave it. No one will know unless you tell!

If you tried to explain the "error" to someone after it is finished, (and what quilter doesn't do that?) you would have a very hard time getting them to understand what you thought was wrong. I'd leave it alone if I were you. If you want to drive someone crazy, ask them to find the error in your quilt after it is finished.

BTW, beautiful block! Want to try that one too!

No. It won't matter to anyone else. They'll never know. Just you, and with all the other colors and patterns, it will disappear! Carry on and keep sewing
