First Border

Even a simple one-inch border is not without its challenges. The first border is very important because it is with this border that you insure that your quilt is square. If the quilt is not squared off, you'll have lots of trouble later.

You may think the first border is very plain, but wait until you see the second. This border just sets off what comes next.

The Top is Done

As you can see, all the squares for the top have been sewn together. The hardest part was squaring off all 48 squares so that they were all exactly 10" square. Sewing them together was easy. Fortunately, Wanda had her ping pong table set up so that I could lay out the quilt as I went along. Now to do the borders.
