When a quilter makes a mistake - just call it creativity and continue on. Folks will think you are so artistic and clever
One time I pieced the back of a crib quilt. Folks comment more on that than thefront. I was just trying to use up all the left over fabric and not have an unwanted stash left behind

Your quilt - your rules. That said, I agree that it is a good idea to scan the ENTIRE pattern BEFORE cutting anything. Sometimes you realize a different way to do it that works better than the original pattern OR you catch a mistake OR you realize that there is really a method to the pattern. I have been bitte by the same bug as you and had to figure out modifications later. Regardless, this quilt will be very pretty.

The dark star is so much more to my liking because it is a creative response. Patterns are just a hint of what things could be. How many times have people remarked they put their own twist on something, or could not find the identical fabric and end up making something that is their own! It is so hard to get into someone mind set that we rather blame ourselves for making something less than identical. All you really need is the spirit that draws your plans together and sets you off on a new path.....enjoying the difference.
