This quote from her website about this gorgeous quilt is the exact reason why I float quilts on point; I can then trim to a more suitable size to make pieced borders if I wish. Among many other reasons!
The quilt is great, by the way!

"There is something that happens when you put a quilt on point. The dimensions, which start out even, since everything is built on a 9" finished block size..becomes WIERD. The dimensions are 63 3/4" X 76 1/4". By itself, that isn't a problem. But if you want to have a nice little pieced border that marches around the quilt, you are going to have to find a common denominator for these units, and that means having to add spacers to the top and bottom of the quilt that are a different measurement than what you add to the sides of the quilt to give you the right size."
