The borders are on.....

Michelle added the first little border to the hexie quilt today and tonight it was my job to add the outside borders. It's only the 2nd time l have done it, mitred corners that is, Can anyone tell me why the 1st, 2nd and 4th mitres went perfectly and l had to play around with the 3rd one.

Anyway, all done now and ready to go to Lisa's to be quilted. I am not sure about the small border, but it's done and l am not unpicking it.

PS Michelle you should be proud of me - you are agreat teacher.

Winding Ways name tags.....
This is just a bit of fun. I see so many familiar faces and hate it when l don't know people's names. So decided l'd give the Winding Ways name tag a go. Feel free to download the pattern and whip one up. If you wear it to Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop you'll receive a small gift from me.
