Initially I was going to put on only two rows of squares on the "Spanish Steps" quilt because the wool batting I bought was only supposed to be 90" wide. After I sewed on the first two borders, I measured the quilt against the batting. It turns out the batting is 100" wide, and I have lots of room to add the three rows the pattern calls for. I think it will look much better.
My focus this week will be to finish adding the borders on the other two sides. 216 squares to sew.
Scrap quilts are great! I have been quilting for almost twenty years (since I was pregnant with my oldest child), and it is nice to be able to include fabric from lots of the quilts I have made over the years. A real memory quilt.
Have a great day!
