Love your "fix"...and I love the quilt. Geese for the next border? Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I would appliqué a fleur de lis type shape over your bandaids pointing towards the corners in a color similar to that on the points of your feathered star.

I think it is beautiful however you do it.

If you want the corners to end with a single on point square-the same as the rest of the border:

On the sides, you have the correct number of on point squares, but you need to begin & end with a half of a block (HST on point)

On the top & bottom, increase your on point squares by one, and then on the ends, at a right angle to the last square, add the other half square.

If you don't like splitting the square:
Increase the sides by one on point square, and add a small white border to bring the center unit up to the correct width. On the top and bottom, increase by one on point square, but you'll have to reduce the width of the white next to the center.

Your fix really did the trick. Looks like it was meant to be designed this way from the start. Good job.

Love the fix.

I was trying to visualize GEMRM's idea of putting the diamonds in the corners, and this is my crude rendition, but I like the effect, and the simplicity of the change would be a big advantage.

Sitting back and looking at that some more, I think you could put a diamond on the underside of each of the "bandaids" as well.

i think what you have is great, I like it better than any of the alternatives but you do what pleases you.

Jillmc, So glad I could help. Your redo looks great. I hadn't considered making the square a 4P but it looks perfect and didn't seem to require too much unsewing. Additionally it didn't use any more of the light value fabric you indicated you didn't have much of.

Can't wait to see how you finish. You have inspired me to move my feathered star quilt up the bucket list! Want to finish several WIP first. I am determined to get some long term projects buttoned up before starting something new.
