Progress

Yesterday I finished assembling my cut-down "Sew Many Strips" quilt, but I didn't get the chance to photograph it until this afternoon. I dashed out between the wind and rain squalls and managed to get this shot:

Today was a sewing day with a few friends. I took along my Bloom with a couple of border fabric options, and we spread them out to see how they looked. Once I'd seen the options it was obvious what I needed to do, so I hope to have the borders on that quilt very soon.

The heading for my temperature quilt, which I started over a month ago, is just missing one "Lal" after today's sewing:
Hard to see the details in this poor lighting, but I think it will be more readable on the actual quilt.

    I had to go back to the link in your original post about this quilt to check on the border. I knew those nine patches in the corners were your spin on the pattern. Very clever, they work so well with the pattern corners. A great border!
