Okay, this should be my last update, as I am weeks away from actually quilting it, but I added the two borders, and I am pleased with my results.

Thanks again for all the encouragement. A family whose home was destroyed during our wildfires will get this quilt...in fact, each family member will get a quilt from our guild. I like to think a teenager may get it, but ....who knows.

There were no strips left for the borders, so I just used fabric from my stash and my sister's. I think what I ended up with works well. (We got grab bags of "stuff" to make challenge quilts out of. For me, this was a challenge, way out of my comfort zone.)

Thanks again...

Nice and bright, looks great with the white sashing. I am sure it will be appreciated greatly.

I think it looks more "framed" by using a fabric stripe rather than bits and pieces. Lovely job. Whoever will get will be happy.

Perfect quilt for a young person or young at heart:)

I really like it. Very lucky person will receive it!!!!

Great job, keep up the good work,you can tell it was made with love.

it looks great with the borders you chose.

Perfect!

Nice Quilt. You did a good job.

I think it's really nice. Will certainly make someone very happy.
