Pie Are Square, prints are not

You know how this is going to end, just smile along as you read it. I was
in an appliqué mood so I stitched 3 kittens and 3 pair of mittens on a
lovely soft fabric. The background base is 4-patches printed in gentle
shades of blues and purples.
The crib quilt needed just a little more color so I framed it with a
skinny border of pink with tiny daisies and then a purple strip. The
background fabric is cut precisely by the printed blocks so there was really
no need to measure, right?
Wrong.
The quilt is l and 1/8" longer on one side than the other. Do you
think anyone will notice? Polly

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

Traverse City on Lake Michigan.

Needless to say -- Jasmine LOVED the water!

Fantastic collection Kate. As to the 'who's in charge'? I would hazard
a guess that it isn't the humans g

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.

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
