Second Border

 

Instead of working on actually assembling the quilt center of the Old Town Mystery (hey, I need a title for my version), I worked on the second of three borders. That would be the checkerboard one, which I was looking forward to. I think I'm hesitating on assembling the quilt center because I'm just a little intimidated by the thought of sewing all those blocks and sashing pieces together. It's silly because I'm the one that has already sewn all those small parts together to make the blocks and sashing.

Maybe I'll just add on the pieced sashing to just one block and see how it goes.

Also to note, I randomly ended up following the checkerboard directions entirely by mistake. Or maybe my subconscious made note of the point that two of the four sides of the quilt sew the red and white four squares together in one of two orientations. Phew I guess? That would have been a whole lot of un-sewing

Remember! There is a plain border in between the blocks and the checkerboards. Your piece looks great!!!
