i dont have enough border material
i was always told not to make straight seams on borders to do diagonal seams..i am doing 7 3/4 border if i do diagonal seams i will lose to much material and not have enough...is it ok to make a straight seam..my corner pinwheels are 7 3/4 thats why my border is that wide

So your borders between the pinwheel corners are more than 45 inches? If so, how about adding another pinwheel (or other block) in the center? I also like asymmetrical settings to solve that problem with some of the quilt blocks continuing into the border. If you can, post a picture and you will get lots of suggestions.
