It really was a case of bribery for most of the weekend: I would listen to one CD of my audiobook while sewing on the mystery quilt and then watch one episode of 'New Tricks' while stitching on the owl border. I resort to this bribery a lot or I'll never work on a second project, including housework.
Anyway...I finished attaching the bottom border Monday evening. Then I started basting more turquoise hexies for a change of pace but tonight I'm going to start attaching the left border.
I still need to create the right border and finish the top border before they can be attached. Then I hope to get another row or so top and bottom to at least get this quilt square, if not "portrait" rectangular instead of "landscape" due to poor planning by the designer (that would be me!). And then I'll fill in the top and bottom with half hexies. The end is in sight altho I know it's still many weeks away...

OMG it looks gorgeous. You have been so busy working your lovely projects. Well done!
It's stunning!
The border colour blue really brightens it up too
this is coming along beautifully loving the border not a cold blue but very warming. Housework yes mine gets neglected thinking i must hoover today but then what is the point as I plan to go on the sewing machne later today so that will be more mess!
I am in awe, Sarah!!
Hey, if bribery works, go for it. I have to dangle a little quilting time in front of my nose (like a carrot) to get myself to do the monthly budget, so I understand. : )
It looks absolutely marvelous!! Well done, my friend, very well done! What a spectacular finish this is going to make!! :)
