Had a slight change in the borders because....that would be MATH. When we initially measured, we only did one direction and decided to put a 1 inch greenish blue border and a wonderful brown 3 inch border. Well.....having a three inch brown border ALL the way around caused the quilt to be over 106 inches in one direction. So...the 1 inch green border will stay the same but on one end, the brown border will be 1 inch and the other end it will be 3 inches. I am sure it will look nice. But...somebody..that remain anonymous, sewed the borders to the wrong sides resulting in over an HOUR spent ripping out stitches.
Tomorrow, I have to piece together the batting - it is only 90 x 108 inches in size and I need it to be a minimum of 106 x 108 - need extra for the clamps. But that is easy, I always keep large pieces of extra batting just for this.
This what happens to the person that sews borders to the wrong side...at least she is still smiling.
I looked EVERYWHERE for my quilt log book. It contains measurements, info on in progress quilts, info on quilts I have made, book names, pages - lots of stuff I don't want to lose.
I NEVER put anything on the ironing board shelf - this book was UNDER some fabric AND batting. OH well, at least I found it.
My little helper is never far away. She learned her lesson a couple of days ago when when jumped onto the quilt and fell thru - Chewie taught her that when there is a quilt on the frame, it doubles as a hammock - anyway - she now goes up under the quilt frame and jumps onto the shelf where the pantographs go. Smart kitty.
Time for bed - long day tomorrow!!
