Sew Many Strips Again, Top Completed

I got my batik Sew Many Strips Again quilt finished yesterday afternoon.

 I struggled with the border and then ended up putting the first side on backwards.  Instead of ripping it off, I improvised.  My version is not perfect, but perfect enough for me.  I am glad to have this one done before Bonnie Hunter's mystery starts!

I still have a lot of batiks left but not enough variety to make a good scrappy quilt.

Bram Bones Top Finished

I just got the borders on Bram Bones, a Halloween wall hanging.  The white inner border on mine is supposed to be two 1/2" wide borders.  There was no way I would be able to get 1/2" borders straight and consistent, so I just did one 1" border. My final border is a little wider than  the pattern called for too.

I don't really like fusible applique,  but  I used it for this project and did a straight stitch around the inside of the horseman.  I am planning to have my longarmer quilt right over the top of him to help hold him down.  This is going to be a wall hanging, so it won't often be washed.
