Huh, that's a good tip. I just had a look at their website -
unfortunately, the quilting group is listed as a day activity, which

Graeco-Latin squares
This gives the basic pattern, but doesn't split up the colours according
to Graeco-Latin square. The colour placement is what makes the
Graeco-Latin square.

But you could make it about the quilt-making: Use any other two-colour
block of your choice. It would still illustrate the same principle, but
not in a very obvious way.

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
cool!
