It looks great! Now, I will just have to pack up stuff and send it to Florida.
After I got the purse done, I decided to work on the pieced border for the Star and Nine patch since it was only Jeanette and I and no one else was going to be there for another couple of hours. I was able to lay the quilt on the floor and spread out the border pieces to get a good variety on each edge.
Although, the pattern was a little questionable. It read as though each edge would be made of 15 of the pieces and when I got the first 2 edges done and they were short by 2 pieces. This wasn't the first problem with this pattern either - it doesn't give the yardage needed for the borders! How strange is that?
Anyway, here are pictures of the progress on the border so far. I got all of the sides sewn together and I just need to iron one side and then trim all of the sides down to 1/4 inch from the 4 patches. I am going to do that tonight and in the morning so that I can attach the last borders to the quilt and it will be a finished top. Yeah!
