Sling Blade Gets Borders

I posted about this quilt that I made in January 2017.

I stopped and put it away as I couldn't find anything I liked for a border.

I went to a quilt shop with friends on Saturday and at the last minute decided to take this top with me.

The shop was having a sale and as luck would have it I found a fabric that I liked pretty well - dark turquoise with yellow and blue motifs.  I looked around for an accent border to use with it but no luck there.

Sunday evening I looked at fabrics in the stash and found nothing that was large enough to use.

i had several small pieces of a lighter turquoise and decided to try a technique that I had learned in a landscape quilt class many years ago.  I cut several pieces of freezer paper and after a few mistrials I figured it out.  Not sure if this is exactly how I learned to but it worked for me.

Each side has a different fabric for the inner border.

And now I can call this top finished.  Hurrah!

Got up early Monday morning and sewed the borders on before I 

went to Bible Study.

Took this quick picture on the floor as I was headed out the door.
