Diagonal Madness Quilt Progress

I had to add the inner pink/purple border, since my calculations were off and the 9-patch border didn't fit exactly. Sometimes those "design opportunities" end up better than the original plan. I need to quilt and then bind this quilt.

My Newest Quilt: Diagonal Madness

I started this quilt called, Diagonal Madness, which is a Kaffe Fassett design. Kaffe was actually inspired by seeing a Mary Mashuta quilt. It's 4-patches set on point with setting triangles and a 9-patch border. The quilt in the book is quite a bit larger than this one I am making. The following photos show my progress so far. But after sewing it all but the border, I found out that I made a goof! I didn't figure this size correctly and now my border won't fit. So with some help from my math-competent husband, I may be able to do add an inner border and more 9-patches to make it work...I hope. It sure will beat ripping out and since these rows are sewn on the diagonal, the ripping would be more of a nightmare! I think this is why I enjoy making applique quilts so much more!.

Blocks, setting triangles and 9-patch border laid out on my "design floor".

All sewn. Next step is adding the 9-patch border. Well, since the border doesn't fit properly because of my mistake, I will need an inner border first.
