I finished quilting the center of my basket quilt and now it's time to move on to the borders.
. . . and back.
Why not mark and quilt the borders from the back?
It's working really well!
I had marked out my boundaries by following the quilted lines of the inner border on the front.
This is how it looks on the front. You'd never know it was quilted from the back!
Moving on or better yet walking on . . .
I am so into the RBG Run/Walk challenge! I committed to walking 87 miles by December 30th and have completed 44.18!
I've been out and about in Lake Placid with awesome views of the Olympic Ski Jumps. . .
Cornell University's Uihlein Forest Maple Program facility . . .
. . . and the Luge Training Complex :)
Only 42 miles to go and counting!
I'll be back next week with my Deacon blocks.
See you then!

ReplyDeleteGenius idea to mark the back. Your stitches are beautiful. That's a lot of walking - you are well on your way!
ReplyDeleteBasket quilts are about my favorites, and this one is no exception. Your border fabric is luscious and perfectly suited for quilting from the back. Beautiful fabric, beautiful stitching! Hoping the snowstorms hold off while you complete your walking goal!
