Stella Blue Friday

Only one more border to go...

Last week, I had to miss my Portland Quilt Guild meeting, which made me so sad.  I had a nasty head cold I was just getting over, and thought it’d be rude to share it with my friends.  So, instead of attending the meeting, I sewed.  I worked on Stella Blue again! 
Since I added a 1” border around the top, I had to change the flying geese border a bit.  After some fudging, and making the corner block a bit different, I made it all work.  I think it looks okay, but I am not taking it out!
So, now all that is left is the big blue 5” border.  I will hopefully get that on this week.
In other fun news, I was reading Ladies Home Journal, February 2012, and came across an article about the Modern Quilt Guild, and how quilting is fun and hip, haha!  I loved seeing the article, how cute is Latifah??

Hi, Heather,
Just found your blog and am so glad I did. I have been reading it (backwards, of course) and I wanted to say how much I enjoy seeing Stella's development. And so glad you chose the narrow red instead of blue. I feel it really sets it off. Looking forward to your future entries.

The newest blanket has purple on it? Or am I seeing things? It looks nice anyway.
