Okay ladies... Got all the pieces sewn together. It's not perfect, but it looks pretty dang good! Now I'm working on the border. It is a two piece metered corner border. I sewed the two borders for each side of the quilt together - so now i have four border pieces rather than eight. I checked the book I'm using for directions in metered corners, but the directions are confusing. I'm not sure I'm up to this. Does anyone know any good websites that explain how to do metered corners so I can compare a few sets of directions and maybe figure it out? Thanks Ya'll! Rach |

Okay, I think I got it. Yesterday I sewed the border onto the quilt face. Now I'm taking of the paper backing (which horribly tedious and boring and hurts my fingernails!) before I attack the corners. This is going to be fun! Rach~
