I found that I had no green patches, no blue 4.5&#8243; patches and no HSTs. Basically I had to made the whole border from scratch &#8211; cutting everything, making the blocks and finally sewing.<\/p>\n<p>No problem, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it was a little bit of a problem, because the quilt is too big for my design wall. Sigh. I have to make part of the quilt and then move the quilt over and make the rest. It is a strategy, but not an ideal strategy.<\/p>\n<p>I have about two complete border blocks done, mostly because I needed to see some progress. The style of the quilt requires a lot of different fabrics, so a lot of cutting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After FOTY 2016, I put the Stepping Stones n.2 on the wall.
