    Well you could use them for a border, add a narrow strip of contrasting fabric to separate...it will look amazing!

    All of my quilts 'evolve' ...you have to let them talk to you, they will tell you how they want to be if you listen

    I really like this idea. And since I'd be doing a contrasting border between the blocks and the triangle border, I could make the contrasting border exactly the right length for the math to work.

    I think it looks fantastic and your color choices really make this quilt pop. Be proud of yourself, You did a nice job.
