Those of you who were on the old blog may remember that 2 years ago *blush* I was making this Catch A Falling Star quilt. I finally got the last two blocks attached last week. Now I need to finish it with borders.
I didn't like the finishing on the pattern. It had a black stopper border and then a large red border. It didn't fit in with my quilt, I guess cause I used more country kind of fabrics. So I decided to make 1/2 sq triangles to use as a border.
I looked at the quilt with no stopper border... looks okay. Then I tried black and I tried a light red. I think I like the red. So I'm crossing my fingers and going for it. So hopefully I'll be able to show this quilt again in a few days with the borders on. Then it's going out to be quilted cause I really, really, like this one. Funny how some can become our favorites.
Still sunny today. I may go out and use the outdoor Windex stuff and clean the windows. I like it cause it cleans the screens at the same time. And it doesn't go all streaky on me.

You know I love a cmas quilt. Enjoy it. Funny what a border color can do to a quilt; make it pop, or overpower it. I'm glad you chose red. Lane

I love your quilt. Very pretty. Can't wait to see how the border turns out Karen
