Well I've put a border on and am working a crumb outer border. If you've seen some of my posted topics--I'm crawling out of my little box on this quilt!
My second border is a crumby one. I have cut 2 foundation strips 2 1/2" wide and about 36" long. I can chain piece between the two strips with some crumbs and strips. Back to sewing!
I'm not sure how this will all look in the end. It'll be a surprise to me, too.

It's called not having to resize my pictures as much because I am off dial up!
Ok-so here's what I have progressed so far. I hope to get it FMQ's tomorrow, bound and done. It will finish close to 17 inches.

Okay here's the quilting done, now to bind. Not sure if I'll get that done tonight. I SID in the darker blades of the 9 blocks and small Stipple Quilted in the lighter blades. SQ'd in the outer border. Not sure what color binding I'll put on; could reinforce color with a lavendar one or maybe a yellow. Will audition and then show when finished. The darker blades didn't pop as much as I thought they would.
All quilted
