I had already assembled the 2nd and 3rd borders, so I didn't expect sewing them on to take too much time. But attaching them took much longer than I expected, and involved a lot more stabbing myself with pins than I would have preferred.
It took me all morning to get the 2nd border on, as I could only do one side then I needed to take a break from it.
Lots of pins for the next border:
On the ironing board with the 3rd border fully attached, but not pressed yet:
On the clothesline late in the afternoon, and still not pressed as the sky was clouding over and it looked like it might rain. I wanted a photograph before that happened.
Once the final border is on I will not be able to hang it like this on the clothesline, because it almost touches the ground now.
Here's this week's link-up. There will be another link-up on Monday, by which time I will have the last border on.
Sew many borders! You have done a great job keeping all those seams under control. I hope your fingers recover and you don't have any nightmares about unruly strips.
