The border was fun to do. I've never made one like this before--is it called piano key?

Sigh...I'll put it away and finish it in a few years for a grandchild. It can be a picnic quilt.



Next time sew along the outside edge of the ABC's and it will turn out right. Sometimes the panels just have to squared up.
Maybe I'll make more bookmarks for the library.
