Quilting

As you know from my rambling on this blog, I've been doing some more sewing lately.  That has also meant going through some unfinished projects, and I recently pulled this quilt top out to finish it.  

I began this log cabin quilt in the late 1990's when I was working at a quilt shop.  I finished sewing the blocks together in this house, so sometime after 2009.  I think it's more than time for borders, don't you? Also, just as a side note, for some reason one of the blues is photographing a lot lighter and brighter than it is in real life.  It's not quite as dark as the other blue, but it's not the electric blue it's trying to be in these photos either.

I have plenty of fabric for the borders, I just had to figure out what I wanted to do, but first I needed some measurements.  I had help holding the quilt down for that.  I'm hoping to get the borders added today, then I'll need to figure out a backing (to flannel or not to flannel, that is the question) and I really hope to get this mailed off to the longarm quilter before Caleb goes back to school later this month.  (It's not for Caleb, it's a Fall/Winter quilt for Mickael and I, and also Noodle obviously.  I'm just using Caleb's schedule as a time goal.) That way I'll have it back and ready to bind before the weather turns cold.  (Ha ha!  I'm laughing too!)  

Have a great weekend!
