Yvonne, your quilt looks stunning :P , the red and blues give it really crisp clean lines. I didn't do my boarder as per their instructions, so I din't notice, but I think you are correct. That piece is ment to go against 2 semi nine patches plus 1 sashing. I make that 6+6+2+0.5(seam allowance)= 14.5. I bet they forgot to take out the seam allowance for the 9 patches as theses are all ready sewn tog. Good on you, you're sharp, picking that up :thumbup: . I know how you feel, it was a real marathon wasn't it :shock: , did feel good tho, getting something done in such a short period of time :D

Feathers:Thanks so much :P , I didn't change anything about the inside of the quilt tho, just the outside border, I think it looks a bit different cause I've done it in allsorts lol :lol:

SnowB: Your block looks lovely :thumbup: , I think it just depends what look you're going for as to whether it would work or not, but you gotta go with what your instinct tells you, I'm sure it will be stunning when you're done :D
