I may have just a smidgen of that fabric some where. I also like the smaller size of the border. I'll be looking to see where you hang it next Christmas! May I ask how you cut the blocks down? They were originally 9" and you changed them to 6"? <br />And from your previous post - welcome home! I concur on the green feather quilt - (red = swoon!) and love the little kits you purchased. lovetostitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530983295336105825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-86251226146179210752013-01-30T22:13:51.076-06:002013-01-30T22:13:51.076-06:00You are so smart, that quilt looks amazing!

Both bottom and top border have to be the same and then you have to do the same process for the side borders. If you just sew the border on and then cut it it is possible to have huge differences in the border lenght and the quilt will never lie flat and always have waves and puckers. Hope this makes sense, as english is a foreign language to me.

Your right, the border is absolutely perfect! Amazing how a little time studying the project on the design wall helps turn on the light bulb we look for so often. I love your changes in the quilt too, especially the idea the "hang" the ornaments from the sashing, wonderful! Like you I'm sure that now that 100th Lifetime quilt pressure is taken care of, your inspiration will go into high gear.
