Can you post a pic of the completed blocks. All your sisters may have some good ideas to get you through this?
What pattern are you using?
When I do a quilt for someone and it is not really my style, I try setting the pattern on point and use a material that I like for the setting blocks. A quilt will go together real fast when set on point!
Hope this may help a little. Keep us posted!
peace :D
Rustyquilter, That is a great philosophy. Works on more than just quilting!
