I never added borders after I showed the girls my "sample" so now it is done. I opted to just do one border instead of two like my dd did (hers fits a twin, mine is just a throw). The backing is a really soft black/brown flannel. Quilting SITD using different decorative stitches every 2 rows...my dd picked them out. I couldn't get a good picture of the stitches....wrong time of day to be taking pics, but I could wait to share.

Hope everyone else is getting some sewing in this week too! I work tomorrow, but get to sew on my FW pony club blocks on Wednesday and Thursday between running kids here and there. I have lots of papers cut and measured so just need to cut fabrics and sew.

Carrie....LOVE those colors!
Ring the bell for you.

I haven't looked at my machine in 3 days and won't get sewing today...grocery shopping MUST be done today...my
cupboard is like Old Mother Hubbard's.
