| Spiderweb quilt with string border |
NOW it is finished. I decided that the
quilt from the last post, needed another border to finish it. Here it is! I made the string border and attached it and mitered the corners last night. I think I'm going to enter this quilt top in the
Quilting Gallery's Scrappy Quilt contest. Now to see if it can be quilted in time to present it to a special soldier (see last post) for
Quilts of Valor. Thanks to Marilyn for the idea to add Sawtooth stars to the sashing and cornerstones. Our soldiers are real 'STARS' themselves. Thanks soldiers for all that you do to keep us free!

| mitered border and sawtooth stars around block |
This photo shows a close-up of the mitered border and the sawtooth stars for the cornerstones. I cut out 196 tiny squares to add to the sashing strips to turn the cornerstones into sawtooth stars. I like mitered borders, and thought that they would look best with the way the stars in the blocks go together. The blocks look 'mitered', but, they aren't.
For the people who pray, please pray for the people of Grape Creek, TX. My best friend and her family, plus her sister's family have wild fires burning near their homes. If the winds change, they may have to evacuate. There are wind gusts up to 45mph and only 12% humidity, and they are several inches behind in rain for the year. Thanks for the prayers.
I love the added border, really sets it off!!
