My Sunflowers quilt top is finished — right on deadline for my own little Quiltathon to join in with Judy Laquidara’s big Quiltathon.
I was able to make the quilt top larger by adding four borders, and it’s now 50 inches square.
The yellow print below is going to be the binding and backing, the blue fabric is what I used for the wide border, and the small pieces are what I used for the pieced border. I sewed the little bits together in Chinese Coin fashion, and then trimmed them to get four equal width strips to go all the way around.
My Stash Report totals for this week are:
Bought this week: 0
Total fabric in this year (bought and gift): 54 yards
Used this week: 2.5 yards
Used year-to-date: 37 yards
Total (net): -17 yards

Happy Quilting!
Lovely – I like the look of the two dark borders – I haven’t seen that before!
What a great idea–sunflowers. Love the quilt!
What a happy quilt!
Very cute quilt.
Neat double borders – love it! And yes, it is a cheerful quilt. Happy sewing.
Very cute, like the idea of four borders.
The quilt is lovely! I too, like the idea of the double border. I wish I could learn the patience necessary for quilting (I don’t like how long it takes to finish). 😉 Happy sewing!
