I hope you all are not getting tired of seeing Mr. George in varying stages of doneness. I got the final border on this afternoon and I promise you won't see it again until it's quilted and bound.I am pretty happy at the finished quilt but I know now why I could never be a designer. How do you make a pieced border fit 37 3/4"??? Me either!!!! hahaha
Have a terrific weekend!!!
Your George quilt is fabulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I still haven't started on mine. :(
ReplyDeleteWow! A really nice one! Are you SURE you don't want to design? Looks like you are already there.
ReplyDeleteJudy Laquidara at the Patchwork Times blog says that the way to make a pieced border work is to adjust the borders before it (or add more borders ater) until the length fits your blocks.
See her post here:

(and she should know she designs lots of quilts with pieced borders)
George is great. I'm certainly not tired of him!

Great, great quilt. I particularly like the stars in the last round (and the red points too). Can't wait to see this one quilted and displayed in your next patriotic quilt post.
ReplyDeleteYou can show dear George all you want. It's a wonderful example of possibilities. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your George!
