Here's another picture of the border. This is what took me so long to finish this top. I used fabric that I had in my stash for this quilt, and I didn't quite have enough of one color, which meant that I was a row short height wise. The quilt felt "stumpy" to me. I "hum-ed and ha-ed" over how to make it longer. This was my solution. I like it. It's something different that I haven't done before.
I still need to machine quilt it, but that will probably come a little later as with all of my pieced tops. I have a feeling that as I get better at machine quilting I'll probably be more likely to jump right into the machine quilting.
I'm so glad I got to finish this tonight. Its been a long week at work. The past few days I've had to take work home with me and have had a few late nights. I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I'm exhausted and need some quilt therapy to relax. One more day of work...
The quilt looks fantastic! I love the border, very unique. I hope you get some quality quilting time this weekend.
