Just to say I am thinking of people who are affected by the huge number of fires in NSW at the moment... terrifying and sad times for so many .....
The borders are on my Aiming for Accuracy quilt so this is the finished flimsy
The whole quilt along was great fun and thanks to Michele at Quilting Gallery for really informative teaching and a great design....
In the last borders the tip that helped me most was leaving about an inch at the end of the length required and cutting that off after sewing... this helped so much for that little bit of movement you get and then have a slightly off border... I will always do this with my borders now... (if you want a better explanation and a video to watch go HERE)
Tonight is FNSI and join ups are HERE at Wendy's place...
I was thinking to carry on with my Christmas stitcheries......
... but I have run out of the blue variegated thread....
... so the next thing is the Gail Pan Christmas stitchery....
.... but I have run out of the green thread.....
.... so maybe I will have to start on something new....
Righto, Gotto Go... prep work to do......
Your flimsy looks great! And I always do that with my border, although I thought it was wrong to do them that way! LOL
