As for my scrappy star quilt, I'm going to start sewing the borders on today. But in the spirit of "mystery", I'm not going to share what I decided on until it's finished. But I do thank everyone for their comments and encouragement.

Got my main part done after lots of unsewing. Now to decide on borders.
I have plenty of red, and had bought more black. If I can piece enough yellow together I
was thinking of doing a narrow yellow border and then a wider border of something.

Mimi............Your Mystery Train Quilt has turned out just wonderful. I love all of the polka dots & the colors that you chose to put together. I will be anxious to see another picture, after you add your borders. Nice - Nice!!

I have been hand basting the top. I go to Goodwill for sheet backing. I know some don't do that, but you do what you can.
I have never completely basted a top by hand, I stick myself a lot! Usually I pin it. But I watch tv (or listen) and go merrily a long. We'll see how well this holds as I try to do some quilting on my embroidery machine later on.
