Hopefully you can see where I was trying to go with this. I wanted a thin white inner border to stop the zig-zag and then the on-point diamonds would be offset to mimic the zig-zag. On the top and right I've almost got it right. I did so much math and really thought I had it! Unfortunately I was doomed from the start! For this to work the sides would need to match but I start with a zig and end with a zag. Sigh!
Now it's back to the drawing board. The easy way out is to just quilt the zig-zags and have another throw. I can even make a second throw with the borders: set them all horizontally with some wide stripes in between. For now it's back to the WIP pile while I wait for another flash of inspiration.
oof - I totally see where you were trying to go. I've been staring at it trying to find a solution (other than picking apart the top & removing the last zag), but nothing useful is coming to me. Unless you insert a wider inner border (maybe picking up the light blue, like thin white, thicker light blue, thin white) then putting your outer border on without trying to line up zigs and diamonds. This would necessitate reworking your outer border though, to make it bigger. Sorry - not much help! But the original idea is awesome!
