Not Going According to the Non-Plan

Here is my progress on the wonky stars quilt.  I am in the process of adding the borders and the top and bottom log-cabin style borders are stitched on already.  While I didn't have a set-in-stone plan for this quilt (I'm using up scraps from another quilt project), I am running into some troubles with my sort-of-planned borders.


I'm guessing my calculations were very off (pretty obvious) as my next round of borders are much too long and not lining up correctly.  Now I need to figure out what I will do.  I'm leaning toward adding another solid white border strip to the two sides and then adjusting the length of the two log-cabin style borders so they fit.  But I'm still thinking...

Another view...

I added little butterflies or bow ties in the corners of every other block.  I used an assortment of white-on-white fabrics for the white background areas.  It feels good to be using up stash.
