My plan today was to do a border - and I was going to make a fancy border - diamonds. I pulled out my border book that I bought and never used and figured out everything, did the math, cut, and started sewing strips. And then I realized the border would only add 1.4" and I didn't think it would like right that thin. I decided to set aside those pieces for another quilt and just went for a typical border.

Normally I would add the yellow all the way around, then the blue. But I thought hey why not sew the yellow and blue strips together first? It will have the same outcome! Nope, nope it doesn't. Got a small yellow stripe thing happening in the corners, whoops. Now I know why you go around one border at a time. My plan is to sandwich it this weekend and maybe even quilt it.

I can't get the photo with a border added, but will post on the weekend hopefully
