If it were mine, I would definitely redo the long sides, no hesitation about it. The dead stop of the dark flat edge is too abrupt for me; it stops all motion cold instead of letting it flow smoothly off the sides.
However, since it's yours, and not mine, only you can decide what to do. Don't settle, make it look the way you want it to look. There's too little in life that we truly have control over; our quilts should be one of those few exceptions.

It all depends. Will you be looking at it every day? Does it bother you THAT much?
Now mind you, I don't have OCD.....not professionally diagnosed by a licensed physician. However, I would need to correct it. Good luck with what you decide to do.

That is a gorgeous quilt! I actually like the way the geese are on the sides better than on top and bottom, so I would flip the top and bottom pieces. I've found that if something bothers me it's quicker to fix it than to agonize about it. Please show this again when it's finished - it's going to be beautiful. I just love those colors.
What Dunster said. I too really like the effect of the sides with the geese reversed and would match the top and bottom to it. But that is me and what I would do if this was MY quilt. But it is not my quilt, it is yours. If it is going to bug you, rip and redo but if not, leave it. Lovely sampler BTW.
