Last night was our Annual Quilt Guild Symposium.
I was asked to talk about FUN with BORDERS!
This is the only Picture I took at the Event.
I was so busy 'talking' to everyone.
Any Blocks can be put into strips and make a Border.

L-R: Flip n sew border strip, strata strips, Downton Abbey Flying Geese, Judy L's "Big Star" Sashing, Leftover parts from Quiltville 2014 "Grand Illusion" Mystery,
The Purple and White on the corner of the table are Ricky Tims one seam 3-D Geese.
I knew I had a FEW good Quilts with FUN Borders.
Many Thanks to Judy Laquidara's Books and Bonnie's Quiltville Mysteries and Workshop.
I was in such a hurry when packing up to leave that I didn't get these 2 books in my stuff to show the Ladies at the Symposium,
I have gotten a few Ideas for Borders from these 2 books.
The Borders on this Spiderman Zig Zag D9P came from "Weekend Quilts" pg 74.
Opps!-- laying it out this morning I see it is short one block there on the Right Side...
Easy fix. I have an extra one to use.
I started this quilt in 2008 when I was making quilts for ALL my Grandchildren.
Back then I didn't have as many as I do now.
Time to re-make some that are too small for them and worn out now.
I know CKC would Love to have a different quilt.
He reminds me when he sees me that his is TOO small.

I had to lay out my quilts and take these pictures this AM.
It takes a while to get the TEXT credit on them.
Thanks for looking.
I always want to remember where I got my Ideas and give credit to the designers.
It's another Pretty SPRING day here in my Town!
SOOOOO Sorry for those who got more of the WHITE STUFF!
