Well that went together quickly at the end. While I was sewing the blocks together I was thinking about fabric that would do for the borders,and I remembered a top I made in 2012. I'd chosen the borders, cut the strips and sewn them into long lengths, and suddenly another fabric demanded to be the borders. So I put the prepared borders in a drawer for later, and went with the new choices. This top was the same colours, so maybe those old borders would work.
I went digging, and amazingly found them exactly where I thought they would be. That doesn't happen very often around here. And my hunch was right, they were just what I had in mind for this top.
So the borders were attached in triple quick time, and now I have another top to mark off my list.
I love it when things all come together, with not a lot of effort on my part. That means I can get started on the next project even sooner. I think it's time to tackle the borders on those Economy blocks; they are going to take a lot more work than this one did.
Well done and finding borders already cut and ready to go .... bonus! Love your top!
