Time to add a border to our Summer Time quilt and enjoy it!
The Layout!! Super easy and scrap busting to boot!
I have a video tip for you about sewing borders onto a quilt.
If you have points, it’s better to sew with the top facing you rather than the border facing you.
Even when it’s a thin border, I want to be able to see my top and line up so I don’t chop off my points!
I hope this was a helpful video!

I loved using up a lot of the fabric in the border. I kept the border the light & medium fabrics. I will bind in the Navy dot.
Be sure to join my Facebook Group for all the wonderful fun!
My NEXT Wednesday Sew Along is a Christmas Theme, called ‘Merry and Bright’!
NEXT week on Wednesday I’ll have a Quilt Show post so you can enter your quilt top photo and I’ll have a random number giveaway. You will have 4 week(starting today) to get your top done!
Now I must cut backing & ship my quilt to the spa for Cindy and Dennis at Pink Paw Studio to work their magic!

I want to be sure everyone has a chance to own these great irons! If you have been waiting on the pink one, it’s back in stock!
I did a video and article about it HERE
The color differences are
- Yellow & Pink are IDENTICAL except color
- Blue is less expensive, so the 20% off is fantastic. It has these differences
- 8’6″ cord instead of 12′
- Stainless Steal soleplate instead of Chomium soleplate
- 8 min auto shut off instead of 30 min with the pink & yellow
Anything else?

HI Pat, I am toying with the idea of adding blocks to make my summer time quilt cover a queen size bed. Any tips if I decide to make this bigger? I have always wanted to do a sew a long and absolutely loved sewing with you this spring.
The christmas project, I am looking around for the fat quarters and wanted to ask if 1/4 yard would work?
Hey Ms. Pat,
Thank you for this super fun skill builder challenge! Loved the block designs, fabric and the perfect boarder! How lucky is the quilting world to have u dedicating so much time to your sew alongs!
