Fit For A King

I have been quilting since the 70's. Yes that's right I started in the days before the rotary cutter!
 Hard to remember what that was like, but anyway....My DH has been asking when I was going to make a quilt for our bed. We have a king size bed and I have been putting that off because of size. Well no longer. My bucket list just about has another item crossed off.  I have been making Sisters Choice blocks now for a while thanks to Bonnie Hunters method, and I am suprised that I have enough now for my bed!. My original thought was to just put on one black inner border and a green outer border.

 

before borders.....

 

I've also been making four patches as leader enders each time I  sew.

 It's amazing how those have piled up. So I got to thinking........

Maybe they should be my outer border.....

 

 

I really like how this turned out.

 

 

 

A little better view of the border.

 

 

 

One big quilt!

 

 

Glad I went with this border.

 

 

 

Now for backing and quilting!

Yep I do love the scrappy quilt!

This size however.... ONE AND DONE!
