I know Bitcoin wasn't designed to have a border, and I've loved everybody elses, but mine just looked unfinished to me.

Now it looks finished. I took a victory lap around the edges, stay stitching them so those seams didn't pop apart, and then got it up on the design wall for a photo. I'm happy with it (and happy that I can cross it off the list).

Then it was on to those pesky green borders.

It's been waiting patiently for me to get to them, but I've been involved in something else all week. Finally I got to sit down and stitch this one to a finish.

I love these blocks, I used some of my favourite fabrics, ones that are perilously close to being entirely used up, and it's wonderful to see them preserved in this quilt.

May was a busy month! And that's not all of the finishes, just what was down the shop.

I pulled out some bolts of fabric to see if I could decided on backings. There are more to consider. Fabrics that I once had grand plans for are now possibilities for the backs of precious tops, because I'm adjusting my expectations. If I have a wonderful fabric I'd rather see it on the back of a wonderful top, than have it sit in my stash for another decade. It's quite freeing in a way, because I won't have to chop up some stunning fabric for patchwork, and I can make both sides of a quilt beautiful.
