I just finished quilting my first "quilt". I used a panel and pieced two borders and appliqued some patches in a few places. I know it sounds a little odd but I think it turned out pretty well. Now I have to figure out binding!! I did a practice blanket for my dog and just turned the backing over as binding. Could do that on this as well but not sure I want to do that. Gonna think on it for another a day or two.
