Well got out another almost finished project to work on. While looking at it the temptation to make it bigger was great..............then I remembered the famous words from Brenda "Finished is better that Perfect". And my aim is to have a lot of "Perfect" quilts within the next few months - if not weeks! But I have to tell you Brenda that I started Dear Jane many, many moons ago and afraid I don't think it will ever reach anywhere near perfect. But back to my sewing today. I discovered I had a part sewn on border (so obviously I didn't measure my border or the quilt) and it was too short. So I did what any self-respecting quilter would do - I just made it fit. Had to cut off more than shown in the photo otherwise the next seam line would be on top of that join. This entire quilt quilt was made in that manner. I made blocks and it it didn't fit the next one I simply cut it and made it fit. So I trimmed the quilt and hey look it fits**** So finished putting on the borders and now have to get the backing ready. Think I'll just prepare the backing and wadding today. I'm in the mood to sew today so I had better take advantage and get another "unperfect" quilt closer to perfection.
