It looks very heirloom; and the border you added is fantastic! Love both the before and after. <br />Searching out info of how to make a throw size quilt just a little bigger all around and thinking borders and sashing may do the trick. Pretty sure now all it'll take is a border.

Same problem with a cover grabber, same fear of ruining my first (albeit flawed) finished quilt...and your post confirms my belief that It Can Be Done. I can't wait to do it.

I also didn't want to see the seam left by the top stitching that you did. It would show terribly on my quilt because I used a solid as one of my borders. Just wanted to clear that up!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471590149452641805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478040113382464590.post-41138978190975596062014-08-10T23:27:07.942-05:002014-08-10T23:27:07.942-05:00Great job!

It started out as "On the Road to Spring Quilt a Long" by Randi at I Have to Say, but my husband and I didn't like how the white squares were weaving back and forth. He suggested moving things around a bit. So I put a long and a short together with a short and a long and made a block. Then they fit together like tiles. You have to do a lot of Y-seams to sew it together - there are no rows.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471590149452641805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478040113382464590.post-66995417212742903622014-08-08T18:27:36.738-05:002014-08-08T18:27:36.738-05:00What pattern is this?
