My stepdaughter's wedding was Saturday. It was absolutely lovely. But the big thing is, I didn't finish their wedding present yet. I'm still WIPping on my Layers quilt. One of the big problems, I didn't have enough batting or fabric to finish the borders. Monday was the first chance I got to go to
Quilters Corner for the front fabric and batting. I had to order the Madrona Road text fabric, which should arrive today. With the batting, I had enough fabric to do the sides, so last night I got one side on.
 |
| Side border on and basted |
 |
| Back side of the border |
Adding borders QAYG is fairly easy. The hardest part is handling all of the fabric.
 |
| Sandwich the border fabric, right sides together |
 |
| Top and back fabric, pin securely. Stitch together with a normal quarter inch seam. |
 |
| Cut a piece of batting with a nice straight edge and butt in to the seam. Zigzag in to the seam allowance. |
Once that's done, just flip the front and back fabric over the batting, baste and quilt as desired.
