NO, no, Quilter 65!! Keep "being original", you'll get better at it as time goes on. Just remember, a mistake is merely a design opportunity. Not a crisis.

Are you kidding? Originality rules! You're doing great. Keep it up. And design changes are normal when doing an original. Think about all of the great artists through history who painted a "series" of similar paintings. They were honing their skills.

Once again, Jan, you offer up more than just quilting wisdom! It would be interesting to find out how many inventions and new ideas were created and/or perfected because of errors along the design route! "Oops" moments often become "Ah ha!" moments!

I like the quilt without the sashing, but it's also pretty with it. I think I would use cream setting triangles, and cut them bigger so that when you trim the edges go from corner to corner. But trim at one half inch, not one fourth inch. Then when you make 1/4 inch seam on the borders, your quilt will "float" Also that way you NEVER cut off points! ! !

I love piano keys. I have made too many of them. And your quilt really could use the little extra size.

I think the skinnier sashing is genius! it makes the blocks stand out very nicely! share when you are finished!! =))

I like the sashing. Looks great.

I would leave the sashing. Looks great! As long as the sashing is consistent it really doesn't matter that it's the same width as the stripes. I would proceed onto the next step. Photos please when finished?

Very pretty quilt! I would keep the sashing as is, and use the flowered fabric for the setting triangles.

I think it's lovely! The colors are beautiful, I wouldn't change it.
