I then cut fabric strips (the mint green) larger than I wanted the border to be and hand stitched the body of the quilt to the borders mitering the corners. I debated whether to hand quilt this or not but find that hand quilting is harder on my arthritic hands than the hand piecing was (just a different motion I guess) so opted for the straight machine stitching.
    Such a cute quilt! and thanks for explaining how you attached it to the border, I was wondering if you had appliquéd it to a full fabric piece or what. Your colour choices/random are perfect.
