Vern, Don't worry about it. (Too late now, anyways.) They'll be fine.

i think at most, you (possibly) you have developed microscopic stresses or cracks as not to have tempere the blade after quenching. Nothing you're gonna notice with your eyes. A lot of makers do their tempering an hour or so after they have quenched the blades. So yeah, you probably didn't do anything really.
