Alas! My downfall seems to be adding the borders to finished off a quilt top. I really like taking classes because of the wonderful teachers I have encountered, and I like the camaraderie with fellow students. I can get the main part of the top finished during the class (usually), but when it comes to adding borders, I stall out. Our guild president has issued a challenge to complete a UFO each month during this year. When I went to make out my list of twelve UFO's, I found that I had a dozen (!!!!) tops which only needed borders. Some of the borders had already been cut and folded neatly inside the top; others had been folded neatly with the uncut border fabric inside. I spent four days adding borders and got my entire list done for the show and tell portion of our meeting. If it's that quick and easy to do, why, oh, why, do I hesitate so much? I guess I could do quilt tops without borders, but I like the look of a piece of art work inside a frame.
