Whoa, pieced borders are a lot of work, but I love the look, so well worth it! I have three of the borders together for the Pick & Choose quilt. I'm taking it slow, making sure all my points meet just right! ! ! I am a bit of a perfectionist sometimes. I know nothing is ever perfect, but I try my best. But then, as long as I love it, that's always good enough, right.
My husband and I went to a movie yesterday afternoon, at the cheap theater. It costs $1.50, it use to be the $1.00 movie, but the price went up! We saw "Men Who Stare At Goats", wierd movie, good thing it only cost $1.50 to see it! Not at all what we expected from the pre-views. It was a fun time out though, stopped for burgers and fries on the way home. Today we took a long walk and picked up 18 aluminum cans. We started hunting for the cans to make the walks more fun and when we recycle them, we make a little cash. It cleans up the neighborhood, too. And tonight, I will sleep well after the exercise.
Well, guess I will work on the last border, then I can get them attached and see what the whole thing looks like!
Have a great weekend!

$1.50!! That's great! I know what you mean about pieced borders- sort of a love/hate relationship for me, but they are well worth it. Can't wait to see! :) Christine
ReplyDeleteI miss the cheap theater where I grew up. They tore it down after I graduated high school, but it was the BEST place to go when school was half-days! I wish there was one where I live now.
ReplyDeletePlease share the quilt when you've got it done, I can't wait to see it. I hate myself every time I commit to pieced borders, but they look fantastic when they're done!
Our local cheap theater recently changed to full price, bummer. Sounds like you had fun.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your quilt finished. Seems like you are making good progress.
aHappy sitching.
You're making a lot more progress than I am! Any progress at all would be more than I've made! I too want to see the pictures! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteMy dad tells me about the time when a visit to the Saturday afternoon picture theatre (the *flicks*) cost sixpence. That's about 5 cents and included snacks! Sounds as though you enjoyed spending some time together. Cheers, Ann :-)
