Yesterday I added my border to the Pelham Quilters Round Robin that I have. I was not able to take it to the meeting last night because I was with Tom at a scout meeting where he received his Boy Scouts Woodbadge Award. Way to go TOM!!!! I love you lots!!!!
Renee Valdes came up with this challenge for those that would like to participate from the Pelham Quilters. Visit her blog to see progress shots of each of the round robins. Anyway, here is a sneak peak of what I contributed to this round robin.
Here is the top thus far – worked on my Pat, Jean and Teri Lucas.
Here I am trying to decide and get some ideas of what I might want to do. It seems there is alot going on thus far, and so I think that I need to keep my addition fairly simple. Maybe just a plain fabric border. No too exciting, but it will give your eye a place to rest and frame the piece.
I decide on the blue border, but when I got it sewed on it wasn’t right, so I came up with another idea to combine the blue and yellow.
Probaby would have liked the yellow border to be alittle wider, but that was all the fabric there was. All in all, I think I like it.
I like how the border frames the quilt and completes it. Congratulations to Tom on his badge.

Congratulations to Tom on Woodbadge. That takes a lot of work to get to that point.
Thanks! As I was reading you comment, I just remembered the Curved Piecing foot that we purchased last year at the Lancaster show, I didn’t even think about using it when making this border. Oh well – next time.
Oh MaryAnne… I love it.. a not so simple boarder. Just what this piece needed. I am in California, so I didn’t make the meeting either, but am excited to see both of the tops finished in May.
