I cut three yards of fabric into two and one half-inch strips and now I don’t know where the picture that I took has gone. Pictured here is about ten of those strips sewn end to end. When I saw this fabric, I knew it was THE ONE. I had been agonizing as to the color to use to border the squares. Black is the common choice, but I don’t like black and I have trouble with ‘common’ in general. I was thinking about a brown. It’s an unobtrusive color, but it is a color. I also thought about red. And what about a red/brown? Then I saw the green and brown–something that I never thought of. Sometimes, you just have to wonder through a few fabric stores before you know what you want.
I have finally gotten all the squares sewn together. And I think that the strips are just the right color. I need to sew a final outside border strip and I’ll be able to start quilting. (Insert Happy Dance here.) Do you have any idea how happy I will be when this baby is finished?
