Oh yes, I have! You get excited about something and you just want to keep going. That's how I ended up quilting the most hideous free motion hearts all over a quilt top (which I could see I hated them with the very first one) and then ripping them all out when I could not live with the horror...

SO... how far off are they? can they be made the right size by just adding two more logs to each block? If you did it that way would the logs have to be the same fabric? Or even the same width as the others?

Worst case could you make new blocks with a different fabric and save these for something else?

Recently I was helping a student learn to quilt. The very first block we cut, we read the directions for 4 1/2" blocks then turned to the cutting table and cut 3 1/2' blocks. We put a log down one side and across the bottom and I told her that was how some new blocks came into being. :) She liked the block.
I see you have a bigger dilemma but I certainly see how you did it! When plan A fails go to plan B. You will find a good use for them.

My plan B would turn it into an art quilt as if you did it on purpose. You could mix sizes filling in difference, cut them in half diagonally and mix them up adding fabric where needed, make it look like you planned it that way.

But, then I can be a bit far out sometimes. LOL

Good Luck.

Sure! (And you have all my sympathy, even though I'm smiling, too!) Did that with the first quilt I made using batiks. I was so taken with the black fabric with subdued multicolored animals and plants on it that I planned a whole queen-sized batik quilt in the 9-4 pattern so the pictures in the dark squares would be preserved, like an I-Spy, and I cut out all the pieces in advance.

Well, not only did I get a good way into it before realizing that it was going to look awful in a large quilt, I kept getting the pictures upside-down or the larger blocks sewn into the wrong place (I was trying to balance the various pictures so the same ones didn't occur right next to each other.) When I decided to cut it down to a lap quilt, entire blocks had to be moved or eliminated because of this picture-balancing. And when the whole thing was done, I still didn't like it very much. Sometimes I keep it in the trunk of my car.

Some of the blocks that I couldn't use in the quilt I saved for small bags. There they look much better. You might use some of yours for bags or pillows and you might love them there. I have also used small log-cabin blocks to make potholders and chair cushions.

We have all "been there" I'm sure...so we'll commiserate with you. You can arrive at that point without even making a mistake. Like any piece of art, the artist doesn't know how their vision will turn out in real life until it's done........unless they copy another artist's work.

I've made outfits where the reality of how poorly it came together didn't hit until I took the last stitch, or wore it for pity's sake. Alls you can do is ask yourself "what was I thinking?". You put too much work into it to pitch it, and you feel guilty and it hangs in a closet for ten years as you try to give it away to all your friends and relatives. I have found that they usually end up lining the dog bed, or under some newly hatched chicks.

You say you don't have enough fabric to redo all thirty six? Why don't you just redo the twelve larger ones then? The pattern will be exactly the same, only the blocks just a tad smaller and your eye won't even notice! If the finished quilt needs to be a certain dimension and doesn't quite make it......well.....that is why God created borders. LOLOL.

Calloipe, that's what I've decided to do is rework the 12 that are made correctly. After 2 days of sulking I think I'll tear them apart today. I'm definately going to try machine quilting on this one because of all the extra seams. It's just so frustrating to see something in your head and not be able to get it done the way you see it. OK, I'm turning off the computer and heading to the sewing room....wish me luck.
