Black Cat Border

In an effort to quilt again, I started with a simple project that put two borders on a  scrappy 12-block Log Cabin. Scrappy, for me, means shopping from my closet first. I used a lot of Halloween fabric and have learned that I can join pieces if one of them is not the exact size. Quilting is always easy on a Log Cabin. I just need backing and batting.

The first border (black) frames the center Log Cabins, and the second border (orange with black cats) makes the focus. I used more of the black on each of the corners so I could make the 2nd border 4.5" wide. Its just a little border treatment trick I learned when you don't have enough fabric. It needs threads clipped and pressing, but is enough for now and will be finished as a 2018 quilt for my Granddaughter who just got a little black kitty.

Three Good Things / Day 28

2. My housekeeper came yesterday and cleaned the corner bookshelf in my studio, and dusted off all my dolls on the top shelf
3. I packaged another quilt to go out on Saturday.
