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.

I think it depends on the fabric. Some prints are very easy to match with a straight seam, and you can hardly see the seam. Solids look just fine (to me) with a straight seam.

tartan..i thought of the pinwheel in the center but didnt take into account the size just measured to the middle and didnt subtract 7 3/4 for the pin wheel ... with new calculations i might just make it ..its a big quilt i dont have a place to lay it to take pics

I think straight seams are fine.

There's nothing wrong with a straight seam...it's just a preference of some people. Do what works for you!
