Beautiful blocks, ladies. I don't seem to mind a bit of a point lost nearly as much as intersections that don't line up, LOL! Those stick out like a sore thumb, to me.
Marcia, I'm sure your plan for your borders and sashings will be just as nice as the original. I usually change something in every pattern, too.
Hope to get my last two blocks caught up very soon, now that I am finally done with my Boom Swap blocks. (I made about 50 of them!)
