Ninnie I am so glad you like it. I agonized over the color for the borders. I had originally designed it with dark brown but that is not a popular color so when you said you liked blue I switched to blue. I had forgotten about your hatchet quilt. I'm glad that is a pattern you like! The center is a pattern I make for hotpads that sell alot so I figured it is popular. I loved designing a pieced border. I have never done that before and always wanted to. I am glad it came out alright.
Thank you everyone for all your compliments. It is really just stuff I have done many times in hotpads just not in this size. I usually only work in 6 1/2" quilt block size with the 1 1/2" Templates or the 1 1/4" so it was fun to have more room to work on more detail. I really enjoyed making this one.
