I would quilt something in the corners, something that reached thru the spaces between your house shapes and then have it travel up and work into already quilted area. You have done a beautiful job. I'm just starting to learn on my sit down longarm. Quite a learning curve for me having to muster up enough coordination between my hands and moving the quilt. I can't see me using colored thread for years

If you are appliquéing smaller Dresden plates in the corners you should be able to appliqué them carefully in the corners by just sewing through the top layer. It would be a little time consuming but well worth the effort. You could hand quilt in the corners without a frame. You're very accomplished quilter so I'm sure you will find a method to suit you. You can send that gorgeous quilt my way and I'll figure it out. .

They are actually really easy ... I do a short cut - I don't sew the tips ... I just cut out the template, fold them down, and iron them. Since they are always an applique thing, I just use a drop of glue in the middle to hold them down

The grid work was easy - just very mind-numbing

This was my thought. Just put those corners on with applique all around.
