Kicking myself

You know the old saying measure twice, cut once.  Well I thought I had done a pretty good job as I had manged to insert my 21.5" squares into the sashing fabric and was feeling, frankly, pretty impressed with myself.  But pride does come before a fall as my grandmother used to say, and sure enough, as I lifted my now complete Sue Ross mystery BOM quilt aloft, it hit me.  I had sewn the last seam TO THE WRONG SIDE OF THE OTHER PIECE.  Now I have houses, baskets and vases, all heading in different directions.  And I know I just can't live with it this way.  So three blocks will be unpicked and realigned to the correct direction.  I am so cross, I have folded it up to deal with later.  If I try to fix it now I will not be as careful as I ought.  Here it is in its confused direction state.  Maybe its a message ....  Below is me trialling a border fabric.  Not sure about this one.  I think the photos are a bit wonky, but then, the quilt is too, so maybe that is OK.
