On a Roll....

On Monday and Tuesday I found myself with a few free hours in the

afternoons.

Appointments were canceled,

so what is a girl to do?

SEW!!!

In those few hours I was able to get the borders on my

Bible blocks quilt.

Woohoo!!

The blocks had been sewn together over the weekend

and I was toying with border ideas.

At first I thought I would use the four extra 

Bible blocks in the corners of the outer border

as corner stones.

 Putting those blocks in the corners was too much of a contrast.

My eye went right to those corners.

I am really pleased with the solid black borders instead.

The extra blocks may be pieced into the backing.

(I had to stand on a stool to take this photo....

hence, the crooked look.)

 

 

I cut and sewed strips of various reds

and used those for the narrow red border.

I'm debating on whether or not to quilt this one myself.

It's much larger than I thought it would be when making the blocks

and I've never quilted anything this large.

 

An over-all quilting design isn't what this quilt needs, though.

I'll see if I can get my courage up to do this!

Happy Quilting!
