Sunny Spread - a little progress

This has been an ongoing project for over a year now. I pick it up every now and again and do a bit but i am getting bored with it now so i am trying to finish it. Actually, that's not true. I'm not bored with it. I just want to start something else!

I tried playing around with it....

Going round in circles...

But in the end i decided to stick with the pattern but not have holes in the corners.
The problem then was that when i started out i put 5 stitches into the corner then put it down for a while and when i picked it up again i had forgotten that and only put three in the corners... This has led to much frustration. Should i rip the squares out and redo them with five? Should i plow on and hope i can make it fit together?

Well, i plowed on and made them fit!

It's been a bit of a struggle but it's all of my own doing, the pattern itself is great!

I just need to decide what's next in the way of a border or more panels perhaps? It's hanging in the living room so i can ponder while i knit the Ice-Cream socks. 
Sock knitting is keeping me sane where crafting is concerned at the moment.
Too many long term projects and not enough instant gratification!!
