What she said. If the corners bothered me -- as they clearly do you -- I'd rip out the corners, set in cornerstones, using maybe one of your other fabrics, or a solid pink if you can find one to match. It will look great!

Looks good to me. Many times we are our own worst critics and concentrate on little mistakes we might have made. Not all quilts can be best of show but I know someone will really treasure this one. Good job.

Welcome to my world. I would not have noticed if you had not pointed it out. I get myself in these dilemmas all the time. I just have to accept the fact that I like to sew but it just isn't going to turn out to be "show" quality. I usually give my quilts away to non quilters and mot times they appreciate all the work that goes into it.

I agree that cornerstones would work if you are really bothered by the corners. Personally, I think they look fine as is.

I would have cut all of my border fabric strips in one direction, either all WOF or all lengthwise. Then I would have mitered the corners or used a solid block in each corner. This way the pattern would have flowed around the quilt. Trying to keep the pattern in one direction on the finished quilt is what caused your problem.
