@ followers of my thread: Fibro reared it's ugly head so sewing today was cut short and I'm having a close encounter with my heating pad. I got some things done, but didn't make it to the pressing stage. Hopefully will get back to it tomorrow.
This is one of the great things about quilting; it's always there waiting for you when you have to walk away for a while.

Hugs , sorry you had a slight set back. :( My mystery quilt will be there when I get the gumption (Sp) to get back to it... lol the Apples are applique` here but not sure I like mine either! Do take care of yourself.
Huggles,
Sharon

Today I added a row of 3" squares to the top and bottom for some extra length. My sister is, after all, 5'10". Don't want her to have cold toes! :)
I had planned to add a scrappy border to the stripe of approx 2 1/2" to 3" then bind it with the stripe. Now that I see it with the stripe border, I am not so sure about the scrappy border addition.
What do you guys think? Do I need a photo with the scrappy up there to see how that looks too?

Do I add the scrappy border or do I not????
