GramE I am with you on this. Since I am the one who will be quilting this I have decided to let the seams go where they may. I have the top finished and now putting borders on and am just glad I have that much done. This quilt is ok, not my favorite. I did last years and I really liked it better. Now I have to do the second one, so will start that one as soon as I get the gumption to finish the borders. It has been fun to do this along with everyone.
