City View Quilt Top is complete



I'm really lovin' this quilt top.  Today I added the border, it's a very subtle gray with wavy lines, called Stems in Gray by Allison Harris.




This is my first time making mitered corners, and I think they turned out great.  Thank heaven for Pinterest!  Before I accepted this commission, I pinned what I thought was a good tutorial for mitered corners.  It proved to be a good one, but her math was a bit off, and wasted some fabric.  That fabric will go in the scrap pile!

Now, I ready to start on the quilt back.


May your bobbins always be full,

  4. The mitered corners are perfect!! I have never attempted them before... might try it on something small first... they can't be that hard, can they?
