I made one of these also and had trouble with things fitting right. I think there are some errors in the pattern myself. Have quilted for many years and never had as much trouble as I did with this one.

Thank you, Everyone, for your generous posts. The name of the quilt is Binding Tool Quilt from Missouri Star Quilt Company. Jennie has a tutorial video. I believe my problems stemmed from not having the Missouri Star Quilt Company Binding Ruler.

Great solution with the bias tape. It looks like it was intended that way. Beautiful.

You are so clever to overcome the fitting problems with bias tape. Love it, thanks for the picture!

I quilted it with straight-line quilting with my walking foot on my domestic Brother's sewing machine.

I made so many mistakes with this quilt. My binding tool was 1/8" shorter than called for. Cut out all the tool pieces and then the triangles did not fit. Enlarged the triangles and then the patterns did not meet. A mistake that glowed like a bright light. Put the top together and had two sets of 4 blocks in wrong. Took the whole quilt apart and started over. After I put the quilt together the second time, I made over 6 yards of matching bias tape to sew on all the places where the pieces didn't fit.

I won't use Berber again (even though I love it) as it is very, very heavy. I'm really happy with the quilt and also happy that it is finished.

This quilt is wonderful. I especially like how you put the dark between the slanted (arrows?). Great Job. Your son will love it.
