I finally added border 11 to my Mrs. Billings coverlet. This border has been ready to attach since October. I'm not sure why it took so long--maybe my issues with border 12.... |
Janet of Rogue Quilter to the rescue! She very kindly offered me a piece from her stash--such a life saver! The fabric was ever so slightly a bit darker, but once it was cut up and sewn into the border, I think it's undetectable to the human eye--lol! |
So here is Mrs. Billing's with border 12 attached--only three more borders to go! Thank you again Janet! |
This week the On Ringo Lake mystery includes flying geese, and I decided to use my favorite method using the Eleanor Burns rulers. |
This is what you get after step 2 is trimmed up.... |
Four scrappy geese. |
I'm ready for the next clue! |

Glad you worked out your Billings border dilemma, it can be so frustrating when there is a mistake in the pattern. That flying geese ruler looks really interesting.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely geese!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of borders for one quilt. They look very good to me.
ReplyDeleteWow - how lucky to get that fabric!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting way to do flying geese. they look great.
That's how I make my flying geese too. Eleanor Burns is a quilting genius!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the fabric worked out for you, Karen! The quilt is looking incredible!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have seen this method of making flying geese before. Looks pretty slick.
Wow! Best looking geese ever! I just might have to get me one of those rulers...lol! So glad Janet could "save the day" with the finding that fabric! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love Eleanor Burns method - hum I may just work on that BH project now. I admire you with your Ms Billings. I love the colors. I gave up on both Robins Nest and Billings and sold the patterns and took the hit! Too many mistakes in RN and was not going to kill myself on Billings, so Hats Off to You as Quilter of the year!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see Mrs. Billings when you have her completed. She's going to be just beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWow,looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHip, hip, horray, for Janet and the great fabric rescue! Mrs. Billings gets more gorgeous as each border is added. She has been on my list for a long time, but I don't even know where to begin. Great technique for getting those scrappy flying geese.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking geese; will do more looking into Eleanor Burns method as mine always appear to be lopsided.
ReplyDeleteWell done getting the borders on. It is very frustrating when the pattern is wrong but I am so pleased the extra fabric helped you get the job done.
ReplyDeleteLooking great!
