I didn't want to end it with lots of seams on the edge, not only is that a pain to stitch the binding on through, but I've heard that unless you backstitch the outside seams, they tend to come apart when you stretch them on the longarm to quilt. I most certainly didn't backstitch these squares, they were all rotary cut from leftover strip sets from the middle of the quilt! In fact, that's why the middle row of squares is slightly smaller, lol.
It'll teach me to draw all my quilts in EQ first because, I think now that I look at it, I would have liked those dark mauve points to point toward the middle of the quilt all the way around, instead of toward the outside. Too late now!

I like this quilt!
good that you figured out how to make that fabric work!
I like it! And thanks for that little bit about lots of seams on outside edges on long arms, I wouldn't have thought about it until it was too late.
Looking good! Those borders really add some pizzaz. I should experiment with borders more often.
It's beautiful! Isn't it amazing how several pieced borders can change a pretty quilt to an absolutely stunning creation. That dark fabric is perfect for this quilt.
Oh, Jane, I really love it! It is truly inspiring!!!
Love what you've done with these borders. I like that the points go towards the outside too! A dark border/binding will finish it perfectly :)
It's absolutely lovely!
I think it is wonderful just as it is!
Success! I think it is wondeful. Congrats on a great quilt.
I like the dark pointing outside...reminds me of prarie points and gives it a bit of depth. Nice quilt!
lovely quilt!
