Baby quilt mistake!!! Should I fix it for the next one?
Okay, my friend has an adorable little 3 year old and another one on the way. The 3 year old never got a baby quilt from me (Long story, but she lives a few hours away and no one knew she was pregnant). With the new baby on the way, I've decided to make them both baby quilts. I don't want here to feel left out. I designed them to be identical in every way except color. I even am doing the shared colors with the same fabric
I made hers first, and I'm very happy with it, except that I didn't follow the pattern very well...If you see where the purple squares make diagonal lines, they don't on mine. I sewed the blocks together late at night and I didn't want to possibly weaken the flannel by taking out the zig-zag stitching that I had put in. (I don't have any pictures of the actual quilt even though it is fully finished now, this is the design I worked from.)

My big question, should I "fix" the mistake on the new baby's quilt? If I do, it will look nicer (not that the other one doesn't look nice), but it would also be a difference between them. The little girl picks up on patterns quickly, I know that she would notice the difference in one quilt's blocks all lined up diagonally and the other's didn't.
What do you guys think? Should I line them up for the new baby's quilt or let them scatter randomly the way that they do in the 3 year old's?
