Options -
Are always nice - ;))
These three sets of "oopsies" were easy enough to fix -
I "spliced" some pieces together -
And was able to cut them down to 2-1/2" squares -
But these guys were my problem -
I need four and only have enough pieces to "splice" two -
Unless I used some of the bottom pieces -
But they were too "different" -
So - I looked for other options -
Option #1 -
Replace ALL of the ORANGE ones in the set -
Re-cut what I need from one of these Fat Quarters -
Option #2 -
Replace ALL of the ORANGE ones in the set -
Re-cut what I need from one set of these strips -
Two in each pile - just like the original set of strips -
What I "need" are all of the "light" pieces in this diagram - ORANGE -
The "darks" in the diagram are the "striped" pieces -
So the top block would look like this if I used the ones that I already have cut -
And ALL of the ORANGE would be the same print -
So it would look "normal" - LOL -
The second block could use the left-overs -
I need eight -
And I'm four short -
Option #3 -
I could cut all eight for this block from one of the strips -
Or -
Option #4 -
I could use the four that I have already cut -
And cut the other four from that lighter ORANGE top strip -
They wouldn't ALL be the SAME ORANGE -
But they would be close enough -
I wouldn't have to "splice" anything -
And I would only have to cut four more squares -
I decided to go with Option #4 -
It's the least amount of work - cut four squares from one strip -
That block will be the "one of these is NOT like the others" -
Which seems to happen a lot in my quilts lately -
Maybe it's becoming my "signature" - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

That choice is very close. I would be surprised if it is ever noticed by the average person looking at the quilt. A quilter or an OCD person (is that the same thing?) would possibly see it.
I agree with Gene.
You have some lovely orange fabrics!
I knew you would have figured it out as I read to the bottom of your post. I agree with the others, it’s not noticeble.
One thing for sure, you learned to adapt....
Going to be one fun fun quilt.
