Why do those Picket Blocks look so familiar? Hmmm. :-D I just finished a quilt today, minutes ago, really. I will be posting on 9/14. The design is a 70" square. Too large for a lap/throw quilt and too square for a bed quilt. So I added wider borders on the top and bottom for a finished quilt of 70" by 88". To cut a long story short (or elongate a quilt :-D), yes, make top/bottom borders wider.<br />Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580018827658637851.post-77430887708751495332022-09-09T12:40:44.108-04:002022-09-09T12:40:44.108-04:00That's a really beautiful quilt, Bonnie, the o...That's a really beautiful quilt, Bonnie, the one edged in purple and with the beautiful quilting lines.

Wow your sampler quilt turned out beautiful and the purple really showcases the blocks - nice quilting too. That "ancient" fabric really looks good on the back.

I'd be inclined to add a border to your star blocks. I like the idea of red that was mentioned above. Thank you for your comment on my blog. I am not getting any of the comments to my email.

When I was teaching,I required book covers on all the larger textbooks, And over the years I became quite adept at creating covers from paper bags, old maps, wall paper and many other materials.Those covers spared the books a lot of wear and tear, prolonging their usefulness, and thus, saving the school district a lot of money.
