Am I done yet?

I'm so glad you're going to try on some borders. Your quilt tells me it's longing for a grand finale instead of an abrupt halt. And please do let me toss in a few words on candlewicking. If you're eager to do one, before you get going on the full production, test some samples. I did my candlewicking on a weave that was entirely too tight. It wasn't the worst mistake of my life but it sure was hard on my fingers and yarn. Polly

Unfortunately I tend to charge full steam ahead and then have to back up and start over. I bought some muslin, washed and ironed it, cut the blocks and then read that it shouldn't be washed until after it is finished. Soooo, I need to go get some more muslin. I bought a rather high-quality last time. Would it be better to get a cheaper one that has a looser weave?

Meanwhile, I can be trying some border ideas.....no cloth store nearby so I have to wait until I go to town. Yep, I'm a country girl - no gaters - lots of cute critters like deer, bunnies, squirrels, possems AND the ticks that go with them. Oh,and snakes if I don't run the tracter around the house every few days to scare them off. BJ

Another word about candle wicking. Making a quilt with that technique is time consuming. I suggest you try the technique on a small square, to judge if you even like it enough to keep candle wicking. I tried it back in the 70's or

BJ your quilt is beautiful. I like the idea of a border, but I can't suggest exactly what. Whatever you choose this quilt is great. Linda in Tx

I agree with the "leave it" folks. Anything added would be superfulous.
