    OMG That quilt is BEAUTIFUL !!!! And the pieced border just sets it off !!!

    love it love it, and love love the border.
    the print fabric that is in the pieced border, looks like it is the previous border also. Do you enough to make it the last border? Maybe the same size as the other solid border.
    Can't wait to see it with all the borders attached.
    Is there a pattern for the pieced border you are doing?

    This is called beading in the border book I have but actually it is just a Seminole border--google that--I am sure you will find it. There is math involved to get a pieced border to come up to the right size.

    WOW! You picked the perfect border for your quilt. Can't find the right words to say how great that quilt is. I have always wanted to try a sampler. Absolutely love yours.
