MarionsQuilts

Hello All ... me again!

I have been experimenting with the embroidery patterns more and more, and I think I finally figured out how to get these blocks to work.

I'm not thrilled with what I've done with this one, but while working on it, I figured out that every block should be done individually. I keep trying to make it all one piece of fabric, and I run into complications of some kind or other.

But, I'm going to continue this one, and once again, am hoping for some amazing guidance!

The nine squares are all one piece. The rest of them are done individually and there's lot of fabric on all sides to join them so they all line up.

first question - should I have a narrow margin between the nine squares and the borders, or should I have a wider margin so I can do some FMQ (in dark purple) to bring the quilt together ? I have some nice feathered stencils that I can use.

second question - I just realized that the bottom two corners should be dark purple ... should I do two more in purple so it all "matches", or just leave them in white?

third question - should the corners go as is, or should I put them the other way - have wide margins and do some solid FMQ in between?

I'm quite content to let this thread go on for the rest of the weekend before I tackle it ... I have another project I want to work on!

Thanks again in advance ... I so love coming on here and getting tons of ideas, solutions and great creativity.

Have a great weekend.
