Rusty
Seems I'm a tad rusty re the whole quilt making process. I made 120 blocks but hadn't done the actual maths or measured the bed! Decided it would be good to make it the correct size for my bed so using there is an option. Turns out I needed more blocks - making those extra 12 blocks was hellish. Anyway on completing the last one I realised I had made no allowance for borders! duh
So do I take off a row on both sides or just make the quilt a little bigger? I could make a lap quilt for the sofa with the redundant blocks plus borders. And...which border fabric do I use. Decisions decisions.
But I do like it - it's nice and old worldly, has that antiquey look. I think just a narrow border would look best.
