Okay. I have a quilt top that I am making for a twin bed. only the quilt is turning out more square than rectangular. how do I make it more rectangular without looking odd?
I have one more corner block to finish and the center block I have to re-due to the right size It is going to be about 20-24" hopefully. I just wanted to give you guys and idea of what i have so far. Between the corner squares are going to be the hunter star pattern.

this is going to be for my ds he just turned a year an I am making it twin for when he moves to a big boy bed.

Wider sashing on the top and bottom ? Where the sides might be say 3 inches make top and bottom 6 , just try to keep it in proportion

I do this all the time or make an extra row on the top and bottom with lets say piano key strips or a cute row of stars or 1/2 sq triangles.
