When I looked at your three pictures, I thought the middle one with the chains and the light background with the stars, was very pretty, and the center would have been equally perfect with NO borders! Maybe evaluate which of your quilts don't NEED borders and don't put any on. =) Borders aren't my favorite thing, but they eventually get added. It's the more boring part. Now, if you make borders Judy Laquidara's way, they aren't boring, so that's another option. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651270482697634891.post-32280545866451338762014-03-28T06:36:44.637-07:002014-03-28T06:36:44.637-07:00Now to get those tops quilted!!

I have the same problem as you do - hate to do borders - maybe I should branch out and do pieced borders - Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118800889609188704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651270482697634891.post-47607529798923544642014-03-27T23:39:59.188-07:002014-03-27T23:39:59.188-07:00Wow, what a great week.

When a project is new, I don't mind because I'm so excited, but often projects get put away because I don't want to cut anymore fabric!. <br /><br />Congrats on the three finished tops! They all look great.

I have the quilt quilted and the binding ready to go... and hate stopping to fiddle with a label. *geez* It seems to just get in the way of finishing... <br /><br />However, I do NOT omit a label...I like seeing the dates on my quilts and being amazed just how long ago it was I made them. Always seems like just yesterday... *lol*Impera Magnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00889488057400766469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651270482697634891.post-49903923365366449162014-03-27T10:15:22.642-07:002014-03-27T10:15:22.642-07:00Good work, Linda!

Works for me. Happy Quilting!mary truaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01031881570356219299noreply@blogger.com
