    Default over 600 squares!

    Just have to sew the corners on, add the border and then it's ready to be quilted.

    I posted this in another thread with 2 other quilts. Someone had mentioned that the bottom rows looked a little wonky ... and I said yes, they are! Turns out I had forgotten a whole row LOL

    At least it was caught before it was all sewn together!

    I have a small problem LOL ... there is not enough purple at the edges for me to sew a border on without losing the points of my squares.

    I have a viable option - turn the squares into half triangles ...

    does anyone have any other ideas? is there a way to add purple fabric to the edges without losing my points?

    If you deliberately sew a strip to cover the same amount on each on point square, it becomes a new design element. I'd call them deliberately made kite blocks

    Thanks! I think that's what I am going to have to do. Such a shame that I only figured this out now! Oh well!
