All these suggestions. I just have nothing to add but am anxious as I know the other members are to see it completed.

If you don't want to make a replacement block you could take out a couple and make matching throw pillows with them...It's very sweet of you to do this for your neighbor, be sure and post the finished quilt!

I agree with on-point, and that she may have lost one block. But about those triangles that won't work.

One scenario is: She worked with those triangles, found out that they wouldn't work, and that's why it turned into a UFO. I know of many quilts that end up in that state for such reasons.

So I like the sashing idea to finish it. Good luck. You're a doll to be doing this.

I am currently making a quilt from the Eleanor Burns book "still stripping - after 25 years". As soon as I saw your blocks I thought it was very similar. Here's the link for her book :

You would need to put cornerstones on the sashing, but you might be able to do a similar layout.

I love puzzles and playing with EQ. Will this layout work for you?

Hey! That could be it! What a great story and a kind thing for you to do!

Whatever you do, it will be gorgeous! I was thinking a red sashing, but it looks like a navy sashing was already started!

It is going to be a wonderful quilt...and you are an angel for helping her complete it. I'm sure she is most appreciative.

So many great ideas! Now I really feel like I has some direction. I'll post pictures when I'm done. Thanks everyone.
