If you are stopping by during the Canadian Quilt Blogathon, welcome. Take a breather, put your feet up and sit a spell. Have a look around and when you are done, stop and visit some of the other Canadian quilt blogs here in British Columbia. You've got the whole week.
It took a while, but I finally managed to cut up some fabric that I bought a number of years ago and made a start on a quilt that utilizes pieced borders to dress up the focus fabric. Here is a picture was I mean.
The picture is not that great, but you get the idea don't you? There are three blocks there. From left to right, there is a Seminole border, a checkerboard border and a star border. These will eventually join 7 other blocks and are set randomly into a quilt.
Now I'm off to finish up some "Paper and Stitch" project for our "Group of Seven Stitchers".

Great fabrics that you are working with. I have played with some coffee fabric and it made me smile each time I used it. Visiting via the Blogathon. I have contest on my blog this week as part of the celebration.
Nice beginnings to your quilt, the checkerboard looks like a tiled floor in the coffee shop.
