I think machine appliue is the way to go for it for me. I'm going to make is Christmassy.

Here is a pic of the fabric I got for the border. Am going to do shark's teeth after all, but am considering invisible machine applique. Doesn't it play nicely with the blocks?
Can't wait to go out this morning & get that new camera. Even DH admitted, finally, that it isn't taking as good of pictures as it did in 2003 when I got it!

I was going to buy some aqua batik & just make plain borders. I did pick up 1 1/2 yards of a medium aqua, but then saw this one & for the first time in my life, it spoke to me. I knew exactly what I was going to do with it. Bought 3 yards so I have plenty. If I only felt better, I'd be working on it, but since I was up at 2:30 this morning, trotting off to the b-room every 15 minutes, I'm worn out. It seems to be over - don't have a clue what I ate that didn't agree with me. Our annual Festival of Quilts is going on right now & I haven't been yet. Was planning on going today. Gotta get the new camera before I do anything else!
Elle, I was thinking, what if you just bought a new-to-you car each time you needed to get it inspected? You could avoid all this unbelievable torment.
