I have finished the quilt, that is before I totally burned it up lol

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-89424-1.htm

I needed to square the quilt off, as it is in the shape of a hex. Since this was a custom quilt without instruction lol, I layed the quilt on my mat and made sure it was square on the hex side to the other hex. The part that is at at angle needs to be filled in. I squared off the sides by cutting away half of the tri's pm the two side that were sticking out there, leaving a quarter inch seam allowance.

I made a paper pattern first. I just layed the paper well over the quilt part and then folded it back to match the angle of the quilt. Then I cut the paper pattern on that angle, making sure to include a 1/4 in seam.

I added the extra odd tri's to four sides and here it is. I just pinned it up for you to see the effect. I don't know if I will do a border or not. I want it for the single bed, so I will check it out.

one side of hex square to the mat, the angle on the mat will be the new patch.
