Holy Cow! Check out how fast I have gotten in the past week. I sew like Martha Stewart at an all you can craft Olympic speed trial. I wonder if she crafted much while in jail. Can you crochet a shiv? How about hot glueing your cellmate down so you can get a good nights sleep? Or, making table centerpieces to brighten everyones day? The questions really are endless.
Ok, so the decision has been made. Drum roll please.....BORDER. After looking at the backing material's size and shape, and the amount of fabric left, we decided to go with a 4" border. A solid strip of the tan with a square of the red material in the 4 corners would be a nice look both for tying in a used color and changing the texture around the outside. I attached two of the sides, and will have to finish up the other two sides another day.
What is left? Make and attach the back, then tie it down. My mom requested that I tie the quilt instead of quilting the two sides together. This means that instead of running the entire quilt under the machine to put all those cute little lines all over it I will be using yarn in "tie" it together. A dozen or two spots where you run the yarn through both layers and knot it on both sides. She says she like quilts better that way, but I think she just wanted to take it easy on me. My mommy loves me. :)
