Today I need to concentrate on getting those borders on my rail/colorwash project for Let's Book It. I hate borders, so this will be a 'kick me in the pants' kind of day to get thru these. Three borders!
To relax from those stressful borders, I will work inbetween borders with this project. Yes, I have another hexie project in the works. I've had this layer cake for a long time - even the wrapper and tag are gone so not sure what the name of this one is. I love blue, I love working with blue, and I love the feel of thread pulled thru fabric by hand.
I hope you are enjoying The Hop - so many great projects in the first four days and still more to come. Today's hosts are:
This is a quilt I made a few years ago and is a free pattern with Red Rooster found HERE. This one worked up really fast and used up a lot of scraps.
Sewingly Yours,

Oh my I love blues too - those hexies are delicious!!!! And I also hate borders - ugh!!! I'll be thinking of you today as you wrangle with them :*)
Thanks for the link to the Christmas Present pattern. So cute!
I feel the same way about borders as you do so you have my sympathy as you work on yours.
Great Christmas quilt, thanks for the link.
I dislike borders too, but not as much as paper piecing. LOL. I like your idea of working in between each one, however. That is how I break up those tasks I don't want to do.
I thought you were done with hexes, but that blue and white is beautiful so I can see why you'd keep going. Borders always make me think of you, I just left off a border on a quilt and thought how you would approve :)
I kinda feel the same way about borders. But they do make for a pretty frame on a quilt. Sets it off nicely. Thanks for reminding me this Christmas quilt pattern is on my short list.
Sometimes I would like to skip the border. But, honestly, especially when there is a pieced border it adds so much to a quilt. So, get going and put on the border.
