I had a rare Saturday off and got to finish Long Time Gone! I was so happy to put all the panels together. I decided to add a little border to the finished top. I thought it would be nice to separate the body of the quilt with the border. The quilt top measure 62" X 63".
This is the quilt top without the added 1 1/2 inch border. I like it better with the border. It looks a little more finished. I started cutting my fabric to make the border. It will take a little longer but I think it will add a lot to the quilt. Jen Kingwell's version just has random lengths of 2 1/2" strips as the border. I want something a little more complex. I hope it works!!
I, too, like the way your small border frames the beautiful quilt. It will be fun to see what you do for the complex border. Congratulations on your lovely finish!
