Here is the border, so far. It is an navy modelly fabric with gold thread. This is what I have so far. Will do something in the arches????
Next is a picture of a dowel I put in the hem of my main leaders, before the zippers. This will help keep the leaders straight, instead of getting smileys from stretching uneven. I hope this works. They came from Lowe's, in the wiring department. Used for fishing wires in walls. Really a cool idea. They were to long and DH cut off to fit. Comes in 3ft sections that screw together. The screw ends are already there for you.
Happy Quilting,
Vicki

Let me know how the dowel works......I dampened my leaders recently and they straightened up quite a bit but will go back to smiling again i am sure!!!
do you turn your quilt or just roll it on and quilt as you roll?
Cant wait to see the next bit. :)
I am planning on turning this quilt. These are new techniques for me. Stuff I learned from Kimmy Brunner in Knoxville.
Neat idea! A curved crosshatch would look good in your borders!

Great tip about the dowel in the leader.
