The quilt I am talking about is very busy and the person I am quilting it for doesn't want her "featured squares" quilted on. The quilt has a top border approx. 12" wide, then a row of her "featured squares", then approx. 7 1/2" in between more of the featured squares rows. She wants me to do a panto which is 7 1/8" wide in between the featured squares. She doesn't care how the border is done but I thought it would look better if I could do the full panto in it. Now that I have read what you all have said, I don't think turning it would be a good idea. My dilemma now is what to do with the 4 1/2" dead space I will have in the border? Did I explain that right? If I do the panto in the border and then go to the row without the squares, I will have no quilting done in approx. 4 1/2" because of the size of the panto she chose. I will try to draw an example below:
