On Ringo Lake is finished and ready for the quilter!!! I had one side that was apparently about 1 inch shorter than the other. Took me a WEEK to get that one side in. I ripped out and re-sewed three times!!! It was worth it. The corners would not match if the borders were not sewn correctly.
And I pieced the back. I have a strip of leftover border pieces and some "what was I thinking" fabric strips. I needed the extra width.
I am just SO happy I am done!!I really have to force myself to finish something. I just want to slap some wide fabric borders on and call things done, but I knew I would be happier if I made the extra effort. Whew!

Your border on ORL is beautiful! Great addition. I have to get my seam ripper out and spend some quality time with it and my ORL top. I made a mistake somewhere and it doesn't lay flat. It will one day soon, though! Great job on your finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, persevering with those borders! I know how disheartening it can be to get so close to the finish line only to discover a problem that requires lots of effort to correct. All that seam ripping and restitching were totally worth it -- this quilt will be stunning!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got that border on. It will be a beautiful quilt!
