When I was a toddler, my mother made a grey wool coat and bonnet for me. Easter time in Minnesota often has cold weather. The lining she used was a pretty yellow cotton, with bunnies, kittens and teddy bears, and little blue flowers.
I found some leftover fabric in my mother's boxes of fabrics after she passed away. This year that fabric finally found its way into a quilt. The border was a bit of a problem. Straight borders just weren't speaking to me. Finally, I looked at a book on pieced borders for inspiration and the on-point Seminole style blocks were just the thing! It took a bit of math. Using different size border strips on the sides vs the top/bottom got everything to come together right.
