Well, I'm still alive and enjoyed just going through all of this thread and reading your comments. I left it alone for a couple of days, then I ripped out the 3 rows that I had in. This is the FWS quilt, it is on point. So I changed my mind from having a stitching line down the side of each cornerstone and just put one through the center, diagonally and vertically. When I finished the verical columns, I pressed each horizontal column, and pinned each side of the stitching line. I worked slower, telling myself it was beautiful, I would love it, put Enya on the radio, and it doesn't look too bad,. Now I can hand quilt in the border triangles. As for the wine idea, I would be afraid to start. We make wine and have a cellar full. (You might never have heard from me again) Thanks for all of your help..
