Design Wall Monday 9/21/15
After avoiding this project for over a week because of my frustration with the pieced border, I pulled out my Tell It to the Stars quilt again last night. The good news is that I finally got the pieced border to fit (although it took close to two hours with lots of adjusting of seam allowances.) The bad news is that I have only finished the first side--there are still three more to go! They will have to wait until tonight or later in the week.
This quilt was Judy Laquidara's 2014 mystery quilt. For some insane reason, I decided to change the spacing on that pieced border instead of following Judy's instructions. I know now that I should have stuck with the original plan, but I will plow ahead and get the rest of my version finished soon (I hope!)
I am linking up to Design Wall Monday at Patchwork Times and to Monday Making at Love Laugh Quilt. Check them both out for lots of amazing quilting inspiration!

Good job sticking with it. It's going to be well worth the effort when it's completed!
