Still sewing the blues
Each day the sun sets a bit later, providing me with a few more minutes of natural light for sewing. I prefer natural light, especially when cutting fabric. This by 
far has been the easiest quilt yet, once all the rectangles, brick and binding were cut.
My daughter calls me the `the queen of borders`, and this quilt will be no exception. I plan to sew a white 2.5 inch border along the main body of the quilt, then a border of small bricks, then a 1.5 inch border of navy, followed by a larger border of dark blue fabric. The binding will be multi coloured made from strips of each fabric in the quilt. It is an excellent stash buster. I am seriously thinking of making the same pattern in shades of green. If I enjoy a quilt, it is not unusual to make the same patterns two or three times.
I like a quilt that hangs down over the bed, at both ends and the sides. There shouldn`t be any problem with this quilt covering a queen sized bed generously.
The last few days have been extremely cold in the Maritimes, . At 5:10 this morning it was minus 25 degrees, This afternoon it is a balmy minus 10. Bring on the sunscreen.
