My 2nd quilt being done on my Tin Lizzie. This quilt has 3 borders. The edge is already rolled up, it is feathered, the flying geese, then the first border. I am just sorta winging it and designing as I go. I am disappointed in the way the flying geese turned out. I almost (ALMOST) want to take the stitches out and use varigated thread instead of white. I am really proud of the other border shown. It was alot of work but well worth it.

You told me to practice and I've been doing alot of it. I used rulers and templates then stitched the design inside the half circles freehand.
