Border Auditioning

I have completed the log cabin and uneven 9 patch border for this scrappy quilt and am now auditioning fabric from the stash for the next round of borders!

Here is the EQ7 file…

…and this was the original version I had in mind as a Christmas Quilt!  The applique is a skill set I have not mastered so doing the above quilt with my scraps has been very beneficial to work out this pattern.  Someday it would be nice to make the one below…

I am getting close to finishing this top!  Always such a great feeling to be at a finishing off phase.  This one I am going to send to a long-arm quilter.  I’ve met some really nice ladies in the guild so I hope to use their skills to complete several of my quilts!  Don’t worry, I still have many more tops to do on my own!

Happy Quilting!
