Back to the borders........
The class went well yesterday. I did a lot of cutting and pressing for the students so they could keep sewing. We meet again next week. Last night I added more strips to the strip piecing I started a couple nights ago. It was 22" wide so I sliced it into 4 pieces a little over 4" wide. I cut one near the center and added some new pieces so it wouldn't look just like the one on the other side. I have these 2 sewn on. It is about 33" wide now.
I took the other 2 pieces and put them up on the wall trying to decide whether to do this border like I had done all of the rest or.........
should I center them and add a square of fabric in the corners. I think maybe squares in the corners might detract from the center. I thought about making the corners in wedges radiating out from the inside corner (like a fan).
The chiropractor took X-rays and didn't see any new stress/compression fractures on my mother's spine. She is in a lot of pain and even had their lunch delivered to their apt. instead of walking down to the dining room at noon. We will be going 3 times a week for several weeks for the some extra treatment that helped her last time she was in such pain.

Now we need a day to dry out.
