Design Wall/Chuppah

This week has brought, thankfully and finally, many changes to my design wall. Last week I was here. As I was the week before, and the one before that! I've finally been inspired to get this thing done! This morning I was here......

....complete with mitered corners! Yes! Me! Mitering corners!

This evening I was here....
P1020081

It's a bit misleading as the left and right are not attached yet.

I have a really big problem. The top and bottom have .75 difference. I don't know if I should compensate when I add the top and bottom borders or if I let the difference grow.If I split the difference before adding the top and bottom borders, all the excess will be in those solid triangles. If I let the problem grow....well, it will just get worse! I don't know if the problem came in with the triangle border or before. I had tons of trouble adding the triangles. I must have ripped the biased edges a million times. Seriously, I learned a valuable lesson that the degree of angles really matters! LOL!

Hopefully by next week the top will be done!

Don't let it grow! Every quilt I make teaches me lessons...some I didn't want to learn..like how to remove squares in an already quilted quilt. LOL Remember to keep 2011 STRESS FREE

I'm not sure how to help you solve the problem, but I can tell you that it is absolutely beautiful!

I can say you need to nip it in the bud before it grows. This is such a lovely quilt!

It's beautiful! Congrats on the progress! I can imagine that dealing with the triangles would be tricky! I would say try to reduce the larger size and do a lot of quilting in the triangles to bring in the excess as much as possible.
