The photo posted April 14 is the way this quilt top was meant
to be except for two things. The first is the sashing, blocks and cornerstones weren’t
stitched together yet, so those elements looked larger than they should be compared
with the block centers. The second is when I opened the kit and pressed the fabric
scraps, a dark brown piece fell behind the ironing board. Instead of hunting
for it I swapped a bit leftover pink from the Raspberry Cocoa quilt. Once it
was up on the design wall, I wanted to change things even more. It was wide for
a table runner and narrow for a wall hanging, and seemed to be begging for a
border. So I added a sixteenth block (also from the Raspberry Cocoa) to make it
square, and surrounded it with more sashing and cornerstones. I may still add an outer border. I’m waiting for the quilt to say what it wants.
