    Thanks to all for your kind comments! I don't follow patterns, just make it up as I go along, so I am never sure what I will end up with. I had never done blocks on point, so wasn't prepared for the stretchy that I encountered, thank goodness I remembered "baggy on the bottom" and boy does that work well! I also remembered to measure for the inner borders instead of just sewing til I ran out of fabric, lol. That helped immensely to square it all up. I love the scrappy look, and I was really happy that a friend suggested the piano keys. The printed, fussy cut final border was JUST enough to finish the sides and the bottom, so I will do a pillow sham for the top to finish the set.
