Borders are now on my small quilt last posted April 25th!

If you follow my blog you will have already seen this photo,
for those of you who haven't I took a little time coming to a decision
with the border treatment.
I had decided on using Spot in the Autumn colourway and spent some
time deciding whether one narrow border or a wider border would
fit the best. Neither of the two options seemed to work,
in the end I decided to split a wide border using a narrow insert
of the fabric used to cut the flowers for the centre collage.
I'm more than happy with the result.
The little quilt now measures 45 and 1/2" and will be hand quilted.
Thanks to Ann for this prompt, I have never used the string paper pieced
method before, I enjoyed it, I like the effect of the four blocks together,
but I found the bias a little tricky. I will definitely use this method
again and be a little more aware of the bias issue.
