Final border


A final border of 8" strips has been added to last year's Saturday Sampler.  This is now a really BIG quilt at 99" x 115".  I want a deep overhang when I put it on our bed.  So my next step is backing and dropping it off to be quilted.  

It took me 2 hours to cut the strips and sew them together, while wrestling with this huge quilt. This may be the biggest I've ever made.

It's a beauty! I've never made a quilt that large. Sewing he binding by hand would take me forever. 😉
