    Beautiful Border. That border is a long way around, I would love to see what you have planned for the corners, on your largest border. You have really done yourself proud with your exquisite design and workmanship. Great job!!

    Yea, I had some trouble, but that was because I fattened them up a bit & then they all didn't fit like they were supposed to, so a couple of them overlapped to the side a bit. This is one with a lot of points, but yours turned out great in spite of the points!

    Donna, The corners are just like the red-violet heart. They are on the diagonal while the rest are straight.

    Thanks for all the compliments. This isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be - is going fairly quickly. Hope to get this border finished by the end of next weekend, but we have a bit of stuff planned for then - new flatscreen is supposed to be delivered & we have an appointment with a mobility expert at the Ford dealership to see what can be done to a couple of their vehicles to adapt them to being wheelchair accessable including getting the wheelchair into it - ramp, wench or lift.

    Nope...repairman says he is the final one to know and to be told the order was placed. Equipment just doesn't reach us yet.
    Ok, but in the meantime, we are doing a bit of a redo on sewing room, so I am not sewing right now.
    On top of that, I am the only one to play chauffeur to a very pg niece.
    Wish I had a center to show, but when I do...I will :XD:
    You think I'd give up, but you can't run me off that easily ;)
    I may be slow, and I may be a mouse, but I have a quilter's heart and shall plod on! :XD:

    Pattis, I did not like doing this one but I was happy with the results. Maybe it's because it has 44 different pieces.
