back from the seashore with a border

Hey there. We are fresh from the beach and very well-rested. As usual, it was so good to see all our people out there. It’s always a whirlwind, but always worth it. This was the first time we’re been back to the shore in the summertime in four years. Really, two people who grew up on the beach totally ignoring this obvious, family-filled warm-weather destination for so long—what were we thinking?! It was lovely.

I just finished my border. I had it all but sewn to the center block before I left town—one of the many things I did during my childless week. It’s not the most square bit of quilting I’ve ever done, but I think it will work out OK. I like it. I want to try the zig-zag variation that moving hands posted for my next border, but I’m a little afraid of that because it is chock full of bias edges, and the perfect square is already eluding me. I think I’ll do it anyway—throw caution to the wind!
