Finished 2 more squares but had a little problem on one when coners would not meet. Was working with black velvet and crinkly black & silver & the mauve fabric. Took it apart about 3 times then gave up and thought that is what buttons and trim are for. The fabric kept fraying and getting smaller. I took a pic of the square with a button sitting at that point then took another with some glitzy black and silver trim strung over it. Which one will it end up being. Maybe neither.
The next block I sewed right in the largest piece of rick rack you have probably ever seen. It came off a t-shirt I bought must have been 20 years ago. Can't believe I ever wore it but never gave it away thinking some day I will pick the rick rack off it and use it. Well this is the day. I showed a pic of part of the shirt with its rows of rr and then a closeup of the rr. If this quilt gets much glitzier it may be appropriate for some madam's boudoir.
Not mine - I am a flannel pj type of gal.

Gosh, maybe you could push that boudoir idea just a little-might be a fun approach! I think this is going to be so interesting and unique when done. I love it already!
Buttons and trim are meant to save the day, for sure! Whatever you decide for your problem spot will be great.
Love that rickrack tshirt!
I just used some big rickrack pieces too...mine were off a sample card a friend gave me. I think it is great stuff.
