unfortunately, the quilting group is listed as a day activity, which
won't work with a "regular" job :-(

But I might still join. Of...

Graeco-Latin squares

This gives the basic pattern, but doesn't split up the colours according

But you could make it about the quilt-making: Use any other two-colour

uh oh, brainwave - curved needles

You can get them in regular sewing shops. Often sold for doll making -
if you get craft items but not upholstery :-)

Definitely easier than using straight needles.

What did I do wrong?

Roberta,

I _love_ your idea for a fix - I also think that the corners would
float, particularly if the strips + borders are a solid/near-solid. Very
