Red, White, and Blue Quilt

I just finished the borders on the RWB quilt.  I like the way the RWB bordered turned out.

I used scraps to make R-W-B-W-R-W-B- etc blocks that were then sandwiched in between two blue and white striped border strips.  I used my Fold-and-Press mitered border technique at each corner.
Soon I will post again with details on how you can easily do this on your next quilt top.

Now I just need to piece a back! Everything is laid out on the floor of my studio. Check back for an update on that too.

Red, White, and Blue Quilt - twin size - an original design by Mary Lachman in 2013.
