Hi Ruby ~
I had so much 'fun' making this and seeing it come together and I do want to make one for each season until I got to this point and I don't want to make a mess of quilting it. So thanks so much for your explanation it does make sense to me. My thinking was point to point too. Did you stitch the outside edges? I was wondering if that would be necessary to keep the back from eventually rolling/shifting to the front or would the linear stitching keep it in check?
