Border Update - 8/21/15

So last time I showed you this -

I cut the strips for the inner border -
From a really pretty white-on-white -
But when I trimmed off the selvages -
And put the strips on the wall -

They came up SHORT - ;))

Don't you love it when your quilt talks to you? - ;))

I think mine was saying -

"Nope - not that one!! - Try something else!!" - ;))

So I put some of the charm squares back up on the wall -

Chose one -

Cut the strips -

Made the borders -

And - instead of running out of bobbin thread an inch BEFORE the end of the seam -

I actually had about four inches of bobbin thread left at the end - ;))

I took that as a good sign -

Until I laid them out -

And scared myself - ;))

The right side lined up nicely -

But one border was off by about 1/2" on the left side - ;))

Then I realized that I had "scooched" it over a little when I laid them out -
And that it wasn't short at all - ;))

WHEW!! - ;))

So - a bit more sewing -

And Voila!! - ;))

I know my photos don't enlarge when you click on them -
So here are a couple of close-ups -
For your viewing pleasure - haha - ;))

I like it -

What do you think? - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
