Once I figured out how I wanted to do the border everything fell into place.
I had just enough leftover reds plus the fabric I recently purchased to add two borders. So I can check this project off my list--for now :)
I'm really into these Gypsy Wife blocks. I make one almost every day. . .
. . . with no real plan. Notice the 4 dark blue squares in this block?
Here is that fabric in the Postage Stamp quilt I made in 1977.
From a distance the red/white windowpane check looks pink.
I'm not sure about this one at all!
I've mentioned before that I keep track of the books I read on Goodreads.com. It's not very often that I enter their giveaways but I did--and won!
Last year I read twenty-five books and entered the 2017 challenge to read twenty this year. We listen to audio books on our trips upstate and those have to have a lot of action to keep our interest :)
Have a wonderful week!

That top is stunning! I love how you brought the sashing out into the border. Your Gypsy Wife blocks are wonderful. I love quilts with a story and this one will be full of great memories!
