Instead of having one solid narrow border, I continued using the darker blue sashing and corner stones for the outer border. This, again after I thought I had measured right, I had to cut down 1/4" to get enough and still had to piece a couple of sashing strips. I'm taking a break on my favorite site to visit with you all so that I can go back in and finish the sashing and corner stones (they are all sewn together, just have to sew then on the quilt), then I need to add the final border. Wish me luck. Then I have to iron the backing fabric to take to my girl friend's house tomorrow so she can help me pin baste it so that I can quilt it, bind it and get it out the door before July 4th. Prayers anyone? lol
