This was supposed to be a baby quilt, people. Each block was supposed to be 12 inches finished. In planning the center pinwheel, it made it to be 8 inches. It should have been 4. So now the blocks are 23 inches. Rogue math. What are ya gonna do? And I really wanted them on point. Well, actually, I don't want the blocks on point, but I wanted the pinwheels themselves to be on point. Why, oh, why did I add the triangles to each corner then?
I am a math whiz. Seriously. I don't mean that sarcastically. Math was one of my best subjects in school. What happened here, then? I. Do. Not. Know. Sometimes the math goes rogue. That's all I can come up with.
So now what? Too much white? Colored sashing between each block? Pull off the corners and return the blocks to their 8 inch state? Brightly colored border? Anyone? Bueller? Seriously, give me your opinion. They're just sitting here waiting for someone to make a decision. That someone could be you.
Hmm, you could do some sashing. I think it would look cool if pieced as is and quilted with bright variegated thread. That's funny about the math. I am always really precise and with the quilt I am doing right now, I am playing it fast and loose with the measurements. We will see how that goes.
ReplyDeleteI think it need some kind of colourful sashing to break up the white. The blocks look great as they are!
ReplyDeletecan you find a striped sashing that would go between the blocks (all the same fabric) and then do a solid red or peachy red for the cornerstones? that would be pretty fun, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteBueller? LOL! I think a pretty sashing will look perfect.
