A while ago, our guild (Stonehouse Quilt Guild in Manassas, VA), did a block swap featuring a border print. I won the blocks (5 of them, including my own ... we sometimes do not get a lot of participation in the block swap), and they were WILDLY different in color. I ended up setting them with navy blue. Oh, and SEVERAL of them had a little "meet in the middle" issue (humps, bumps, holes, or alignment). I did not want to remake the blocks. So, I CLEVERLY used buttons to camoflauge the issue! This little wall hanging is now in my sewing room.
I did a little fancy hand quilting in the blue setting squares, and used buttons for continuity ...
This is the block that I did for the swap ... I LOVE deep turquoise ...
It *WAS* a bit of a challenge matching up those mitred corners, and I notice that I have a little matching issue with the yellow star ... oh, well ... I like the wallhanging, anyway!
