This week has been border central again...I am a bit over it but I still have borders to go on at least three more quilts so I just have to suck it up and soldier on!
So here is this week's big reveal - the border is finally on my Jewel Box quilt. This is a quilt I made using a Bliss by Bonnie and Camille Jelly Roll and a Layer Cake. It was one of the projects at a Wallaroo Retreat about 18 months ago. I know, 18 months - it's ridiculous that it's taken this long to get its border! But here it is hanging in the sunshine from my washing line sporting a nice little border. Happy Day! Now I just have to get this baby quilted. My mum would need to quilt for me full time for a fortnight to get all of my quilt tops done - unfortunately I only pay with love and that's not a great way to run a business.
