Day 40. I have one of the pieced borders done. Although I have enough HST to get all but 6″ of another border done I hit a wall when I discovered that I do not have enough fabric for the inner and outer border. At that point I started second guessing myself a 3rd or 4th time on how I plan to do the borders. All I know for certain is that I need 1 3/4″ inner border before the ribbon/barber pole border.
Possible color options are light gray, dark gray, black, neutral, or a blue.
I have to buy more fabric in every situation except for the neutral – and I think it causes the border to float too much.
A brief recap of the last 40 days:
- Bound 7 quilts
- Added a label and delivered an overdue quilt
- Caught up on my Star Studded BOM
- Quilted & bound the log cabin quilt
- Hemmed 8 pairs of pant for my niece’s wedding
- Made 5 pillowcases
- Completed the center of Frolic
The challenge kept me going and I’m pleased with what I accomplished. If I can figure out my border situation I’ll be able to knock the rest of the list out in the next week or two. I cannot plan on keeping this pace up.
