It is very interesting to see how the 'rules' can affect the outcome of a design. I do like things that are proportional and balanced (and in odd numbered groupings), but I've never tried to apply the rules to my quilting!Poppyprinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251892807966340175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25143942.post-10977913620446698032011-04-28T20:27:13.636-04:002011-04-28T20:27:13.636-04:00Okay....you're a geek and I'm a geek!

I know there's a lot of people busier than me, but I just do not put myself out-there like a lot of people do. <br /><br />Borders? I'm lazy...I figure out how big the quilt is, and how big I want it to be..and go from there. Does it need a stopping-edge, or a bright frame. <br /><br />I'Saskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316697509986535586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25143942.post-37807909833177356982011-04-28T08:32:28.698-04:002011-04-28T08:32:28.698-04:00Thanks for those links.

Sometimes I don't want to bother with a larger border as it gets difficult to deal with a larger size on my quilting frame. I'm going to check out those links.West Michigan Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302049942887238879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25143942.post-23154178486417694852011-04-28T08:18:36.064-04:002011-04-28T08:18:36.064-04:00Good Grief, I just spent 2 hours reading those com...Good Grief, I just spent 2 hours reading those comments on Stitched In Color blog. I'd still be there if I read them all LOL. I hope that these same people actually spoke out on their blogs too (as you did).

However, I am also brought to laughter and tears from the tidbits of reality that are often interjected. This is what endears other bloggers/crafts people to us, the readers.

I added two extra borders and it squared up the quilt. It ended up being an extra 8 inches all around, but I had a 4x3 grid so the extra 12 inches from the extra block was countered with the extra 8 inch borders. Did any of that make sense?! Anyway, short version, the quilt looks more square. I still love it though. <br />I read the StitchedKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587030775350625156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25143942.post-20321564758557347742011-04-27T12:44:47.429-04:002011-04-27T12:44:47.429-04:00Wow, I would totally sign up for a class: Mathemat...Wow, I would totally sign up for a class: Mathematical Algorethms in Quilts.
