that is what the count is without the borders yet! Yes, it's my English paper piecing project that I have been sewing by hand. I am at a stand still in the road on how I want to finish the blanket. Add borders, no borders, borders in white, borders in color. I think this is the hard part about the whole quilt so far. I started this back in March of this year, and in 8 months, I now don't know what I want to do. Well here is some pics of what it looks like. It measures out at 80 x 84 inches right now.

Wow! Gorgeous. I've never seen a tumbling block EPP. I'd perhaps do a narrow inner border of a medium-dark colour, then a wider white border. Bind it in the same colour as the inner border.

I would go around and finish it with white to bring everything together, then do a narrow border in a light color, and a wider border in a dark color. I like the edges to be dark because of dirt.

What ever you do, it will be beautiful! Wow, I'm impressed you've done it all since March. That is really staying focused!

very, very nice!!! I am working on a grandmother's flower garden. I have no idea how I want to put it together. I really have no idea how to bind it. Can't wait to see it finished. Is this the first one you have done?

Okiemom,
yes this is the first one I have done. I find that all this hand sewing is very relaxing to do and have already found another design I would like to try.
