On Edge

 Daddio's tumblers quilt has now taken up residence on the dining room table. It's all together but it needed an edging to square it off.




Digging through his stash did not yield a lot of the fabrics originally used but it gave me enough to work with.



It's fiddly work. I have to make half pieces. I don't make paper pieces as nice as Daddio did. He had the magic touch.



Thankfully I only have two sides to do and the first one is almost done. I know it's insane but I am actually thinking of putting another row of solid color rectangle pieces all around the whole thing for a border. As I said, this is an insane amount of work but I'm seriously giving it a serious thought.

    It's not the amount of work .......it's what will make you love the project. I say go for the solid edge. You know you'll love the quilt much better for it! :-)

    Wow I LOVE this! It's gonna look fabulous when finished. I'm pretty sure your Daddio has a big smile for you right now.
