BORDER SNEAK PEEK
I thought I would give you a sneak peek at a border section on my star quilt. There is still lots of sewing to go. Three diamond borders to create for the other sides, a narrow spacer that goes after the diamonds, and pieced corner blocks. I am heading back to the sewing room.
oh I really like the diamond border-you sewing machine must be ready to catch fire! BTW, I keep forgetting to tell you that I love the header quilt "saltbox houses" (?) love em.
Wow!! Love the stars....Love the border...this is looking awesome Karen...made my day to see it! Haven't done anything blogworthy in the stitching realm lately so to see this was an inspiration.
That really is some quilt you are showing, re the shirt quilts on my blog . I shall be posting tonight a shirt quilt I,m currently working on , you will see it has checks , stripes from shirts and small florals from mt stash --cottonreel

Stop! Stop, oh please stop (not really!)...every time you post another addition, I stop breathing!! The diamonds are just perfect. This quilt will be breath taking....i'm just positively green with envy! Keep on sewing Karen
Love this quilt. What size are your sashing strips. Do you know what the size will be when all the borders are on the quilt? Your doing a great job. Keep up the great work.
