I feel for you! Your Peter Rabbit looks great. I learned a trick from Lisa Callie’s long arm workshop for figuring out the borders without measuring or math. She buys rolls of cash register receipt tape inexpensively from office supply stores. She cuts a piece off the length of each border, and then folds the paper in half, then fourths, then eighths, until she has a size that looks right for one “repeat” of her feather spine. Then she draws the curve on the top folded bit, cuts along the line with a paper scissors, and has a full size pattern of the entire feather spine for that border that she can use to mark the spine on the border. Hope that makes sense! Anyway, you’re doing a great job on this sweet quilt. Your friend’s mum did a beautiful job on her appliqué and she will be so thrilled with your quilting work!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891097077543213720noreply@blogger.com
