Of course, once Bernie's quilt was done it was clear a lap quilt for her partner Patrick was necessary too. This one did not require quite as much effort as it was a quilt top I had made some time ago from some beautiful batiks that I bought in the United States. I love the combination of blues and browns in this quilt.
In the photo above you can see clearly the pieced border. This is a great way of using up leftover fabric. Each piece is the length required for the size of the border. In this case, 4.5". Whilst all pieces are the same length you can vary the width of each piece to get some variety into the piecing.

Lovely Myra. It looks bigger than Bernie's quilt? Love all the labels you made for all these quilts - Hugs Nat
