I had errands to run in Shipshewana one day this summer. I took the pieced center along, stopped at Yoder Department Store and showed my problem to my friend Nancy.
She took one look at the center and said Kansas Troubles. We walked over to the shelf of Kansas Troubles fabrics and she pulled out approximately 10 bolts for me to peruse. I decided on one of the lovely reds.
During the rainy week several weeks ago, I sewed the borders on the center. Now she is a finished flimsy and I don't even have to quilt her!! She will be hand quilted and donated to a fund raising auction for the school my Pennsylvania grands attend.
Yes, another project crossed off the list!

Lovely quilt top! The red border is perfect! Congratulations on another project crossed off the list :-)
I love this quilt top! If there are tickets for sale, let us know. I would love to support.

that is a nice quilt - I don't think this type of quilt needs a border on it though - it would be a great looking quilt without a border.
Great quilt top! Nine patches are the best. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
That turned out beautifully. Congrats! on your newly completed quilt top.
That's a perfect border for the top. Just lovely
What a beautiful reproduction quilt! - Or at least it looks like you used repro fabrics. So pretty! Lots of hand quilting on that one. Excellent choice of colors
The colored fabrics are mostly Moda fabrics, not necessarily repros. You can't tell it but the rows around the center red block are different, one is blues, the other greens. I'm just excited I don't need to quilt it!
Thank you, I thought the border perked up the whole quilt.
Congrats to your beautiful quilt in 9-patch!
Love it! As soon as I saw the picture, I thought, "Perfect border." The red is perfect!
Nice job on your pretty quilt.
A lovely quilt, the border fabric is perfect! I've always had a soft spot for a 9patch quilt!
Beautiful quilt top, Gretchen !!! Congratulations!!!
This is beautiful example of how a simple block and limited palette make a stunning quilt. I like how you framed your black center with the row of red nine patches. Someone will be thrilled to get this top to quilt. Lucky them and lucky you for crossing it off the list! Congratulations.
Thank you for your participation at the Show and Tell Monday !! Hug Bambi
I love your 9-patch quilt and the red border is perfect as it picks up the red in the 9 patches.
The red was a great choice! I, too, seem to not be able to reduce my stash! Ha! Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
I love Yoder's in Shipshewanna. They have helped me with many quilts. Love your quilt. The red is perfect.
Nine patches always look great.........
Hey, yeah - that red looks great for the border! I love getting genuinely "old" UFOs finished. (Can't help giggling when someone calls something from just one year ago a really old UFO) :)
