9-Patch maddness. what a mess?? What would you do?
2 Attachment(s)
I was making the 9-patch madness and loved it. was gonna make it 4 across by five down, so got my 20 blocks made and stupid me didn't even think and put 5 blocks in the rows and now it's to short. don't want to take it all back apart, and have no more of the background fabric as it was I was short and used a different wow on the 4 corner blocks. I could make a new row with a different wow for top and bottom, will be bigger than I wanted but it is scrappy? Or I could just add bigger border to top and bottom and smaller to sides. What do you think? Thanks for any help.

Larger border top & bottom is a good option. Nice thing about scrappy quilts is anything works. The quilt is lovely.
|
Go with your border idea. Beautiful quilt.
|
I'm confused. You wanted a 4 x 5 setting, and now you have a 5 x 4 setting, what happens when you rotate the quilt 90 degrees?
|
All my blocks that are upright will be sideways?
|
yep, directional prints. borders are your answer. i've seen lovely quilts with larger borders on top or both top and bottom. or a row of blocks of some sort added. good luck.
|
My DGD said just turn it Grandma, doesn't matter witch the direction there in.
|
You could take it apart??? or do the boarder thing or do as DGD says.
