A few years ago my friend, Janine, and I were down in Southern Utah and stopped at a quilt store (big surprise!) and Janine purchased a quilt kit for a cute little baby girl quilt. It sat on her shelf for a couple of years or more. Then she gave it to me thinking I would get around to it quickly. Not the case.
So today, probably 3 years later, I pulled it out and started cutting, sewing and pressing. A couple of hours later I have this baby buggy quilt flimsy ready to go to the quilter! It went together quickly until I got to the outside border. If I would have cut it the way they said it would end up with baby buggies going sideways. Now I just can't do that so I matched and pinned and sewed until hopefully it isn't too noticeable that the borders are pieced so that all the buggies are right side up. I think Janine will be surprised that a kit she purchased several years ago will end up for her next little granddaughter.......due in a few weeks.
Happy Quilting! Lynda

I had to laugh about the border - I probably only had noticed it after cutting them and then it would have been too late. I can't believe it took you only 2 hours to put that top together. And are you never quilting by machine yourself? Just wondering ;)!
That's so cute, and no, I can't see the joins.
Just goes to show it doesn't pay to rush into things. It was obviously waiting there for this new baby to come. Beautiful quilt and loads of kudos to you for matching that border... hugs...xxx
