More Unity

It's the last Monday in March, so we almost a third of the way into 2022.  It's warming up, but it's still pretty cool in the mornings.  My allergies have definitely let me know it's spring.  I just have to remember to take some sinus medicine if I'm going to be outside for long. 

I did get in some good stitching time this weekend.  I always forget how long it takes to add borders.  


 
With all the seams in the last pieced border, there's a lot of pinning to keep the Unity seam allowances laying in the right direction.  And then there is my least favorite part of adding borders, laying the quilt out to measure for the next set of border strips. 


Unity: 2020 Bonnie Hunter Sew-In-Place Quilt along


By dinner time last night, the narrow border of background fabric was finished and the green strips for the final border were cut.  By the end of next weekend, Unity should be a finished quilt top.  

Linking up with Monday Making, Monday Design Wall, as well as Patchwork and Quilts.

yes allergy season is awful - I take two meds for it and sometimes a 3rd and special eye drops!! but I love spring

Great job! This is the point at which some projects head into the UFO closet because long borders are challenging and tedious... keep going you're so close to finishing!

The measuring for borders isn't my favorite task either - but it sure makes a difference in how the quilt lays. Your Unity looks fabulous, and very springy!

Unity is looking so good, Kate! Borders aren't my favorite part either, but you're almost there!
