I haven't done a square in a square yet. I break those down into half-square triangles. I'm getting pretty good at those. I used to chop all my points off. Now, I make them a little bigger and trim down to the right size. Before, they were sometimes a little bigger, but I didn't trim them, so the points would get chopped off somewhere in the designs. I work a lot with 3.5 and 4.5 " squares. So I got square rulers that size so I can just trim around the ruler and it's the right size. If its got a diagonal seam you have to be careful to keep the diagonal on the ruler on that seam. That block might also be a good candidate for paper piecing, but I don't know how to do that either :) All I know is, I've made 7 baby quilts using that design, and each one turns out a little better than the last one did. The first one I made like it had very few points..they all got chopped off. LOL.

I think it looks good without another border. I think all the variety's look great... it is crazy how just changing the colors can totally change the look of the quilt. Great jobs ladies!!!

Both of the quilts look great and thank you for the link. Saw a lot of other ideas from that site.
