What a Difference a Border Makes....

Hi There!

Gilbert and I - for once!!! - didn't have any errands to do today and we decided to just stay home and work (AKA play, for me). Gilbert quilted a quilt and I played in my Sewing Studio.

*VBG*

It took me almost all morning to sew and cut up those half square triangles and FINALLY add them to the log cabin blocks!

What a difference a Border Makes....
Twenty Four little Inches...

LOL

Seriously, to view a good rendition of that song,

Then, I added a 3/4 inch beige strip, to them.

Then, I found a piece of civil war strippy kinda fabric and managed to sew another border, with this.

And, I've decided to add a "staggered" blocks around it.



But I'm thinking that I might need another beige strip to divide the dark strips from the staggered blocks.

Suggestions, anyone?
