Blue Sampler

   I sewed sashing onto the blue sampler blocks today.  I have been looking through my stash for a suitable blue border with no luck.  A friend offer me the chance to look in her stash, but while I was out running errands I decided to buy fabric for the border.

I also bought a blue piece for the outer border of  the string heart quilt so tomorrow will be border sewing day.

String Border On

  The string border for the string heart quilt is on and I like it.

I plan to add a 2" plain blue outer border which I hope will calm this quilt down a little.  I have searched my stash and I don't have a large enough piece of anything that will do so I will have to shop.  That makes 2 quilts for which I need to find a blue border fabric.

String Border

Today was sew day for my church sew group.  I worked on a string border for my string heart quilt.  I have all the corners pieced and 2 border pieces.  I am piecing onto lightweight non-fusible interfacing.  After piecing, I will trim the border panels.  Here you can see some of the progress.  It is bright.

Bonney finished a quilt for the VA hospice unit.
