If it's a finished quilt it's too late to change it, but at least with a block you'll be able to, even though it will take so much time.

As someone who changed the center circle of compass three times, I have decided not to sew the sections together until the end. I am convinced that I will step back and say no that one fabric is just wrong. I am so admiring of those who design so easily but I equivocate.
