Avery's Quilt: Framing cloth with border

A Frame Forms

With my cloth pattern now changed - time to frame!

 This is achieved by adding a border . 

A time out among choices for the border. And tho' this process took a while to configure among those steps for choice to frame the cloth. Since the yellow butterfly pattern was used to rejoin the previous cuts by sashing them, the eyes would have to judge between pink or green...

eyes began to drift towards the green....

 A decision made. Green would become the border with ideas to still think about for this quilt top. And still with some steps to be dealt with and time to do them.



The framing process with more cuts :
Four pieces were cut with the green butterfly print.  And cut into the 2.5 widths (as with the beginning) and with the entire 18 strips to form this cloth.
With rotary in hand the sides were trimmed to even them up . And to first fit the 2 side edges & cut those as to apply to their edges. The side cuts were done for purposes to achieve best among cutting the material left. Once those pieces were cut- pinned -and sewn, time for the remaining strips to be cut for the top and bottom  to complete the border. Once those were pinning and sewn time to clip the excess off with the pieces applied to the top and bottom and to even those sides up. Now the border was entirely sewn & border now framed the cloth.

 With the framing process undergone with the green border 

 a few ideas began to brew to bind the quilt and begin to prep the 2 back layers

 towards completing this quilt.

But wait!... a few more ideas to review

before I began layering this quilt 

and move towards the final steps.....
