Go Four It progress! Some quality time in the sewing room has resulted in a finished top. First there was a lot of MATH to see if the yardage I wanted to use for the border was big enough.
Kansas Troubles fabric--I do love Moda fabrics. There was a lot of measuring and figuring and refiguring but the fabric was big enough to cut the border size I wanted, 5" wide. I cut the strips lengthwise so there was a lot of time with the cutting mat on the floor, as the cutting table was covered with the Bookshelf quilt pieces--I'll show progress on that project tomorrow.
Although I didn't plan this, the border fabrics from stash are very traditional in color. I think that complements the center--they are "everything" blocks: pastels, batiks, prints, solids, traditional and modern. All the four patch blocks were assembled over several years as leader-enders, from 1.5" squares with 2.5" squares cut diagonally to put them on point.
I did have to seam together the borders strips for length, but I am not too fussed about that. So glad this is a finished quilt top. Stash fabrics will be assembled for the backing, and I will send this out for quilting.

It's gorgeous! Love the neutral, green and then dark with the reddish corners. Nicely done.
This is lovely, Annie. And kind of fun that it was built over so many years. The border fabrics are perfect.
That is gorgeous! I love how this quilt turned out! Great border choices!
This quilt is so beautiful and you did such a great job of all those pieces fitting them together just perfectly! I'm so envious!
