I really thought the day would never come when this quilt would be on the frame!
I thought I’d share a quick tip for dividing a border into even parts without measuring anything. I cut a strip of paper the same length as the border and start folding it in half, over and over. When I get the divisions that I like, I use a chalk pencil to make tick marks on the edge of the border.
I plan to get this bound today.
Twenty years is way too long for this to be a UFO. Have a great day!

The first time a saw the hexies, I recognised the Dutch chintz ! ( I had some leftovers myself).
Now I feel real happy ! I see a beautiful quilt and fantastic quilting. In Dutch : Je bent een kanjer!!
Just when I thought that you couldn’t make that quilt any lovelier, you added that great border design! Thanks for the tip too – when I get my sewing space back, I just might give that a try!
Fabulous quilting and a good tip. I had one that took me 30 years to finish, but it was a wonderful day when I was done.
This is a lovely quilt, and I LOVE the quilting. Thanks for sharing the quilt, quilting, and the tip.
Beautiful!
I have a stack of hexies I could send your way for finishing 🙂 I’m having trouble deciding on how to finish them. Might be a good goal for 2020, because I have 20 hexies. Haha!
Thanks for sharing your border design. I have a quilt I’d like to try this on. Does the quilt need to be square? Mine is rectangular. Any thoughts on how I would handle the corners? Your quilt is turning out lovely.
At least you kept the enamel pan to hold the binding…….. lol good finish!!!!
Hi Katy! Great tip and your quilting looks fabulous. This is a wonderful finish for the end of 2019 and a nice way to end the year on a high note. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ~smile~ Roseanne
