Called my quilting teacher tonight to ask her if she would help me put it on the frames. I didn't think that I could do it myself. She asked me if I had put any borders on. I told her that I hadn't planned on it and she told me that I might want to reconsider since it would make it look more finished. I didn't think that it did. She also asked if I was going to quilt or tie it. I said that I was going to hand quilt it. Somehow we got on the subject of whether to quilt the sashing. I wasn't going to do that either. She suggested that I might want to go over to Gloria's and look at her quilt. She said that she had one with sashing that she was doing right now.
I hung up feeling a little disgruntled. I did call and arrange to go and see Gloria's quilt tonight. I have to admit tat I was wrong. I do need a couple more borders. I didn't even think of the fact that when I put the binding on the quilt it will take most of the outside stitching with it. It would not look right. Gloria suggested using all of the fabrics that I used in the top in some way. She also talked me into quilting the sashing. She told mt that I didn't have to, but that I would like it a lot better if I did.
Darn, back to the sewing machine for me. I won't need any more fabric for thr color border, but I will need more white for the final one.
