This evening I added the lavendar outer border to my Shop Window Quilt.

It was easy to make. The pies are first sewn together–just striaght seams. And then I ironed them to freezer paper rings and pressed the raw inside and outside edges of the rings to the back. The freezer paper makes it easy. Then I set up my Bernina to sew a stitch that makes two straight stitches and then one to the side to sew the ring to the background. Using invisible thread, you can hardly see it. With the rings sewn to the blocks, I sewed the blaocks together and added the borders.

Now the quilt top is ready to go off to Mavis Rosbach of Quiltbird Studio who will work her magic in long arm quilting it.
