It's really big, and I had planned on having it set on point in the quilt center. But then I would have to add REALLY HUGE setting triangles to make the corners, and I think that added too much "dead space." True, I could quilt something fun in those corners, but I just didn't like how it looked. So I went back to the design board (EQ7) and jiggled the layouts, and came up with this one:
This ends up at 82" square, used 16 of my 20 blocks, which is a good thing. There are 4 blocks that I won't use, and I have some that I don't like, and can easily find 4 to remove from the lineup! My sashing can be a little wider now and I think the whole thing looks more balanced. I like this layout a lot, and have decided, THIS IS IT! I have tried so many possibilities in EQ7, I'm not sure which is which anymore! So I can start sewing again, and stop fiddling with "how would it look IF...!" This quilt should be ready by Christmas!
