Pie Are Square, prints are not

I dunno -- but you could add two more border all the way around -- kind of wonky borders... squaring up the outside -- but you could trim what you have now a bit to "wonky-ize" it a bit.

Clear as mud, right? See what I mean in my webshots album -- WAGS - row by row... that might help!

That will solve it, Kate. Thank you. And...isn't it about time you updated and gave us a new picture of that sweet puppy? (or did puppy eat the camera?) Polly

Hubby set this up -- not sure it is a public folder or not -- but we'll try:

Pictures from last week up in Suttons Bay, MI -- which is just north of Traverse City on Lake Michigan.

Needless to say -- Jasmine LOVED the water!

Kate- what fun photos... and beautiful QIs! Thanks so much for sharing!

Fantastic collection Kate. As to the 'who's in charge'? I would hazard a guess that it isn't the humans >g< . In message , Kate in MI writes

I don't know too many babies who come equipped with a tape measure, Polly. ;) I'm sure everyone will be much too busy admiring your adorable kittens and mittens to notice the difference in the length of the sides.

Adorable, Kate! :)

The kittens and mittens are cute but the off-square is bothering me just a little. I think I'll correct the wonk just a little with the rotary and then add another border or two to bring it into square. Being off ¼" or ½" wouldn't be so bad but this is ridiculous. Polly

"Roberta" Nope! They'll be so busy admiring your kitties.

those naughty kittens!

I know it's not the high point of your day but I've got to tell you the end of kittens and mittens. I managed to kinda square the rascal but it still didn't look finished. The mittens just seemed to look like they were an afterthought. I took some 1/8" silk ribbon and joined the pairs of mittens together in a sort of wiggled loopy manner. To keep baby from harm, I stitched the ribbon down with a __V__ stitch. To protect the ribbon from baby, I threaded the ends under the quilt top with a wide-eyed needle and firmly stitched them down. Viola. =) One more happy quilt. Polly

No...nobody will notice. I figure you've got several options.

1. slice off the extra 1 1/8 and pretend that the block you sliced is still perfectly square.

1. add 1 1/8 to the width of the border you're going to add on the shorter side.

2. (my personal favorite) Cut 1 1/4 off the whole quilt on one end so that you have an even quilt again. Put on the border. Get creative with some sort of applique -- maybe some grass or little flowers down at that end to cover up the loss of 1 1/4 of fabric.

1. Leave the whole thing just like it is and if somebody says it's lopsided, look at them like they just suggested that your grandmother wore a thong and smoke cigars.

Only when they try to fold it. :-)

It sounds like another darling quilt, Polly.

The baby won't and it's the one who will be using it!

Nope! Everyone is going to be looking at the delightful kittens and their mittens. N one will be standing there with measuring tape in hand.
