LOL...now that is funny...that border is very hard...the Judge had no idea how hard. I am proud of you for finishing the border. There were several woman shopping in the quilt shop they they said they still have not finished the quilt do to the border...over a year...and not done. The was when I decided I was going to do a different border. Congrats on your 3rd place.

I did Mama's Shortcuts many years ago as a block of the month. It was fun to do but the border was a pieced border and the directions called for cutting the quilt down for the border to fit. Lucky that the shop owner helped me with that for I never would have finished it. And here's the icing on the cake: I won a 3rd place ribbon for the quilt and the judge said that the border did not go with the quilt. Had I known beforehand, I would have done a simpler border.
