Looking forward to handquilting
Ready to hand quilt! The border became quite a dilemma. I wanted to use the kimono fabric my mother bought for me years ago in Japan but once I put it on I knew it wasn't right. It took away from the hexagons. So . . . I ripped . . . and then went back to Quiltsalot to look at her borders. I was surprised that I had enough scraps to cut triangles for a border. Janet of Quiltsalot has had so many inquiries about this quilt that she posted some directions to get you started. The pattern is no longer available. I figured it out by myself, so can you.

Yet another masterpiece, the colours are lovely and bright, I love it.
It is gorgeous!! I love the border you have on it now and the dark sashing. What a beautiful job you did - and it didn't take you all that long, either. Take a well earned bow, Janet, and enjoy every minute of the quilting. Carol
I love these kaleidoscope of colors quilts you all are posting lately ...

So nice! The triangle border is perfect.
It looks marvellous with the little triangles (my favourite patchwork shape). Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
