It's still on my design board. For some reason I don't want to fool with it right now. The corners are too small for a triangle. Something is bound to happen to make it work out. I might take it apart and make it straight instead of on point. I HATE TRIANGLES.

Don't take it apart. Send it to me and I will finish up your corners and send it back to you.

Your quilt is stunning! You did a great job "making it up in your head". The corner triangles will not be as little as you think they will be and they will look fabulous on your quilt. I always just cut mine really big, sew them on and then square them up--I am not a huge fan of triangles either, so this method eliminates a lot of thinking for me!!! :D

I just finished a lap quilt and left the corners off on purpose. Looks great. Marge

The corners are not too small for a triangle..

You just need to make them a quarter square triangle instead of a half square triangle..

Let me know if you need the math on how big to cut the square..

You need to cut the last pc of your quilt and attach. lol
You need to cut a block about 1" larger than the main block and then cut it corner to corner. This will require 2 of these blocks for 4 corners.
It should fit, but just to make sure use a scrap fabric to check it out
