    Lovely quilt! I like the gray, it adds interest to the pattern.

    Very nice quilt! I think it looks great as it is, sans borders. (Took a while, but I did find the wayward block! I agree to not fixing that--it does give it character!)

    Beautiful quilt, wayward block or not. Most non quilters will never see it.

    One thing I learned from this quilt is that, regardless of the instructions, I won't be pressing seams open for blocks that you have to matchup to get good points. I had a terrible time, as I usually "nest" the seams and have good points, but I missed a lot with the seams pressed open.

    Beautiful - I love this design. I agree, I'd leave the hourglass.

    You are so right about open seams! I love the way the block flattens and the back is pretty with open seams but there is nothing to "catch" or "push closer" when they are open.

    It took me a while to find that hourglass block. Still, it's in a spot that wouldn't be hard to fix. It would drive me insane knowing it was there. I do like the pattern you used!
