Quilt - Day 3

Today the small and large borders were added. First, the smaller border of muted green.
Then the larger floral border. This really pulls the whole quilt together. Its looking like a quilt now!

I'm really pleased with the colours.
Next step - put the backing fabric, wool batting and quilt top together like one huge sandwich, and pin together.
Luckily the dining room table is just the right size. After a cup of coffee, the quilting commences. Sewing together these 3 layers is quite a challenge on my little Bernette sewing machine. The hard part is man-handling all that fabric past the needle!
More quilting is needed, but you can see the general shape now.
