Border continued

I finished the 2nd edge yesterday and decided on the colours for the 3rd side -not easy as Icould do with a couple more dark blues but I think I have got it sorted. I may need a few more new plain colours for the final side though wich wil be blues merging to greeen/grey for the plain half-stars. I think I will have just about enough black silk (having thought I had bought too much) but still need to do quite a few more plain black diamonds and half diamonds -tedious but fairly quick. I MAY just finish it by Easter if I cary on doing some most evenings at the expense of reading or doing anything else. Another 'snow day' off work would help! Half term is approaching but I will spend most of the days decorating the former bathroom - the last room of the house to do - it has not been done since we moved here! THen no more decorating for ages - have done Beth's room 4 times now!

The Border

After months of inactivity I have finally started on the border. It took ages to decide how to do this; in the end I think I changed my mind several times but eventually I workedout the size it needed to finish up and as it needed to be a little biger all round I decided to finish it by adding a border of plain half-stars then a border of plain black to finish. I have now nearly finished one side so I MAY even get it finished by this Easter! It does mean I have to keen the whole quilt out though! Will post a photo as soon as one side is finished
