I just finished sewing the last row onto my Alaska quilt top. I really love this quilt! It measures 49.5" square. The pattern is so pretty and intricate looking. However, making one block at a time, it's manageable and works out very nicely. I didn't add the border in the pattern. The pattern has a 4 inch border of the lightest fabric on each side of the quilt.
I found this picture on Edyta Sitar's website. The border is made by making Block #2 and sewing it all the way around. The four corner blocks are altered to keep the dark fabric on the outside of the quilt. I really love this border. The bad part is I didn't have enough fabric to add this border. But, I did find the fabrics on various websites so I'm all set! I wish I had seen this picture when I was buying my fabric. Oh, well, it still works out!
Just a beautiful quilt finish, Rosemary--gorgeous work on this one hugs, Julierose
