Lessons learned
Had a real moment today - but learned two things.
#1 - When making a double border around a quilt top - add one border at a time. I thought it would be easier to sew both my borders together, then sew them to the quilt - did NOT like that look at all. Lesson Learned
#2 - When decided how big to make your borders always remember to divide by two. My baby quilt block was 31" square and I wanted the quilt to be at least 41". So I added a 10 inch border, made up of two colors (see #1). Well, that was a brain fart on my part - I should have added a 5" border all the way around instead of 10 inches all the way around. That quilt top with borders attached was huge! Lesson Learned - always divide the amount of border you want by two because you want it on two sides, not just one!
If I can't laugh at my own mistakes (and learn from them), then I'll be doing a lot of crying!
