I love the colors!<br /><br />If you have any questions about enlarging the quilt and what to cut the borders, e-mail me and I'll help you with the how-to.<br /><br />Here's a not in your unmentionables ironing tip: sew your blocks together in horizontal rows. Press the seam allowances in row 1 to the left, row 2 to the right, etc. ODD numbered rows LEFT,<br />EVEN numbered rows RIGHT and no, I'm not shouting at you :)Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245963180065978054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-14814318942080957472009-07-17T09:53:39.992-05:002009-07-17T09:53:39.992-05:00It is a beautiful quilt and if you can add just on...It is a beautiful quilt and if you can add just one row and make it fit your bed, you'll be glad of it. I agree that it's too hot to iron in TX, but ironing is an important step in all quilting. We iron the fabrics, then we iron the blocks, then we iron the top before we can quilt it. Whew! Now, that cup of strips. If you take your rotary cutter and just slice the heck out of those strips into little tiny pieces (1/2"x1/8" or so) and stuff them into a glass cmas ball, they make terrific gifts! Good luck.

Its really not hard to do, you just need to measure, but when you do that, dont do your measurements right at the edge of the fabric, you will measure across the middle, in a couple of places across and down. Then take those measurements, if they are not exactly the same (they rarely are) and calculate the average. Use that to cut your borders and then make the quilt and border peices fit together. That way your edges stay smooth and the quilt will lay nicely. You have done a great job-your finished wuilt will be wonderful.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383214875457202545noreply@blogger.com
