Just Takes 2 Done!

I worked all week on it, and got the borders on my Just Takes 2 quilt top:

I spent a good bit of time figuring out the measurements for the floater borders so the pieced borders would fit.  They did.  It got pretty big--about 91" x 108".  It will be sent off to California for quilting--I know it will be super when it's done. 

Another look at the borders:
Now I can move on to all the Christmas stuff that has to get done this week.  My guild party is Thursday and I still have things to get ready for that, plus shopping and shipping and baking... You get the picture.

Check out Judy L's Design Wall Monday to see what others are doing.

Have a great week and let's quilt!

    That is absolutely gorgeous, Barbara. I made one section and then gave up - I had problems with some of the directions. Guess some of the blocks were too advanced for me. Love all the quilts in your header.

      Thanks, Margo. I knew if I didn't keep up, I'd never get it done.

    I love your borders! Your quilt is gorgeous! When I see these beautiful finished Just Takes 2 quilts, I mentally kick myself for not keeping up with this great project. Maybe after the new year ...
