It really feels good to be back to my old self! Being productive in my sewing room and the quilting studio makes me so happy! At the end of the day I love being able to say "Look what I did"!
I bought this quilt top off of Ebay last year and it lacked having the outer pieced border sewn on. A few of the small blocks had to be added to the length of the border strips so I got it out of the drawer this evening and commenced to finishing and getting it ready to be quilted. I found out in a hurry why this was never finished and then sold on Ebay for as little as it was sold for. The pieced border is too large for the top on 3 sides. Someone didn't do their math correctly or didn't square up the Gate Latch blocks as they went. One side out of 4 fit correctly. But all is not lost because it doesn't look too terribly bad and it is going to be quilted regardless!
I think it will look great as a tablecloth in our breakfast area! The colors are perfect and the Gate Latch pattern was my Granny Ida's favorite so what could be better than that!
