Sew-Along Sampler Flimsy

Late Thursday I had a chance to stitch the blocks together for my Frankfort Girls' Sampler Sew-Along. When using setting blocks (stepping stones) that are this easy to make, quilt tops go together super-fast. Her she is draped over a wicker porch chair. I've never photographed this fabric in natural light; in my opinion, it looks pretty spectacular, even with some shadowing.

Obviously, my next step is to add borders. This center portion measures 45"x54"; when I do some mental calculations (always a dangerous business), I believe I have enough remaining fabric to add a 2.5" inner light border and a 5" red outer border. That is how I plan to proceed. Cross your fingers for me; the red is what I am likely to run out of; I have less than a yard remaining.

Draped over the family room couch; see the difference in the coloration? Indoors, this always looks too yellow; it has to be the artificial lighting. Regardless, it is still a quilt that makes me very happy to look at. It will always remind me of the girls in our group whose contributions helped make this quilt a reality.

Gotta' get in gear! We are having family here tomorrow and the final preparations are going to be full throttle today. We might have as many as 19 from hubby's side of the family. Yes, we have enough space here to social distance, and masks will be available. Looking forward to all the visiting!

Have a great Saturday!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
