(Oh, small white border and larger blue outer border...or at least that is my plan. We'll see if I end up with it that way. :) )

Sounds great. Keep going.

IF you do a quilt on point, make sure your outside triangles are cut with the "on grain" side on the long/diagonal side. If you put the bias side on the long side, you'll drive yourself crazy trying to finish off the edges.

Dina, Really pretty quilt. Love the on point setting. Can't wait to see it finished and quilted.

You're right, it no longer makes you dizzy to look at it. You are doing a wonderful job on this. Keep up the good work.

This quilt is more gorgeous every time I see it. Now that everything is "lined up", it no longer makes me dizzy either! Your colors are wonderful. I disagree with a former post, politely of course. This quilt needs borders. There is too much "motion" in the quilt to do without borders. The eye needs a place to "rest", and I'm hoping your borders will be more "still" and peaceful, and provide a nice balance to all of the motion in the middle. Just my thoughts. Take them or leave them. Can't wait to see the finished quilt! Be sure to post it. I'll be looking for it!

I liked this quilt from the first time I saw it and I hope you don't mind if I steal you idea and make one for my granddaughter. Love the color and the simplicity of it.
