Normally a quilt like this would have a border, but this one won't. It already hangs down 8" on all sides, which is enough for a tablecloth without being a pain for the people sitting at the table. When the extra leaves are removed and the drop leafs are lowered, the quilt still looks good.
After Thanksgiving I'll send it to Chris for quilting.
Pat wanted me to take pictures of the Thanksgiving table when it is set. The table will look great. Do you know I have Fiestaware dishes?? (You're not surprised at all, right?)
Fabulous stuff, Lynne.

ReplyDeleteLOVE this! You give me ideas for a tablecloth for my table ... and I'll be setting the table with Fiestaware too! I have at least 14 different colors and I use all of them - happy stitching!
