I am so glad this was re-posted. I think that is the proper term because I notice a 2011 date on it and then 2014 dates and then yesterday and even at 12:07 AM today. My task this morning is to assemble a group of fabrics for an blue and beige bargello I am planning as a high school graduation gift. This post in very nicely done and very instructive. I hope I can do as well. This quilt is stunningly beautiful. And, it answers questions I have in my mind about borders-I thin I will plan for them.
