New week, new border


I have the border on Star Gazing (quiltville), but it seems to be missing something. hmm... I added another row of blocks and it is more square than rectangle. I prefer a rectangle quilt. Which do you prefer? But it is big enough for a bed.



I have a few more box kite (quiltville) blocks done. I am having fun digging through my 2 1/2 inch squares for the centers.


In preparation for borders and squaring mill girls, I have been cleaning off my cutting table ..again.
When I measured for the borders for star gazing, I realized it had been a very long time since I have seen this much of the table top  lol. I had to document it.

    You have been getting so much done! I am envious. I am like you in that I like more rectangular quilts, but some designs just need the square. I should photo my cutting table as well. I just cleared it to cut the edges of the border. The pile is just repositioned at the moment, though.

    Hi Maggie,
    I am SO impressed with your cutting table - nice and cleared off. I love that border on Star Gazing. How clever - I need to Pin that so I remember it sometime in the future. And, I'm still enjoying the kite blocks. ~smile~ Roseanne

    The star gazing quilt looks so inviting. I wish I had a cutting table as large a yours but, mine too, is in need of a good cleaning.

    Looks great. I like rectangle quilts better but am becoming more accepting now of squares and my present one I have just basted is square.

    I prefer a rectangle quilt generally. Good blog post.

    :D The cleaning of my cutting table always only happens in conjunction with large-scale quilt tasks. Love your BH project so much with the cheddar sashing all in place and the cool borders going on! That's a really lovely scrap quilt.
