{Post 1,130} New Border Option for Spools


I am liking this a lot better.  Spent my available sewing time this AM cutting 13" strips from various scraps.  I think a good blog name for a proliferous quilter would be Scrap Generator.  Honestly, as much as I've cut from my scrap boxes (and there are only 4 plastic shoe boxes each half full), they never go away.

I don't like a lot of cream/light in a quilt, so this is better for my taste.  I am planning to quilt a big feather in each border, filled in with something as yet undetermined.  While I piece the borders, I'm doing laundry from our FL trip and watching the Pajama Quilter for inspiration.

My original idea is second for comparison.

I like this option better, too. Isn't the Pajama Quilter a hoot?

Haha! I do not know where I got the "leaves in the corners" from. I guess you got a laugh at my expense. : ) It was the "feathers in the borders" that I'm looking forward to seeing. Sorry bout that. . . brain fry. . . or was that brain fog? : )
