Or how the internet performs a miracle. This could also be called, Jane shouldn't cut fabric at night.
I was eager to finish the medallion quilt and knew I had 72" left and it was close, but just right. Then I proceeded to cut eight 9" strips for the border instead of the other way around. I ended up short for the last short border of brown.
Went to the quilt store the next day and they were sold out. Resorted to the internet and after several false hopes - they did carry the brand and exact color I wanted, but were also sold out -- I found a quilt store in Michigan which could send me half a yard. And it looked like the fabric I needed, but the color was "wine" not brown.
Since there was no other choice, I ordered a half a yard. It arrived in the mail on Wednesday night and it was a perfect match. Thank you internet! Finished. Now to Helen's for quilting.
Very nice, Jane. It's so attractive with the alternate plain blocks, and shows off the patchwork so well. Looks great!
