The final row of my little Civil War quilt has been sewn on...sort of. I decided not to add the 8th row because it looked a bit too long. This is due to the quilt not being as wide because I unpicked all the rows of half square triangles that were supposed to be on the side of each block. So, this is it without a border.
Hmm, the border. Here lies another problem. As I bought all my Civil War fabric in 30cm or fat 1/8ths, ( because I cut small pieces), I don't have any big enough to cut borders from. I do have a couple of larger ones but they do not look suitable for the border. Most quilt shops down here closed down during the pandemic apart from my local quilter who has her own little shop at home. I know she stocks some Civil War fabric so I may venture out and visit her. Otherwise I shall shop online. So, it looks like this is now a UFO. Bummer !
Moving on.....progress with my crocheted blanket. Only a few more rows to do and then I shall crochet the border.
Happy stitching.
Your little civil war triangles are so pretty - hope you find the fabric you need soon. The blanket has come along well too. xx
