Here is the lesson that I learned from the Hour a Day quilt project: I am not an hour-a-day quilter! I really enjoyed making the project; I just can’t work one hour a day. Some days I spend the whole day sewing, some days I am forced to do other things. I spent several hours yesterday and today sewing the borders. I decided I wanted to make it a little longer, so I added a little saw tooth strip on top and bottom. I think it gives it that Patchalot look! The navy border is a Thimbleberries print trimmed off another quilt from a few years ago. I just had to cut the strips to size and sew them together. You don’t see the seams at all in that fabric. It is such a thrill to be able to complete a quilt from what we have on hand. Great project! Thanks Judy! I won’t be able to join in the leaves project, but love the setting. Judy has a gift for adding a touch of elegance to her designs. Did you see the American Quilter magazine this month? Judy mentioned that she had a quilt in it and so I looked for it, and saw her quilt featured. It is beautiful! So fun to see a “friend” featured in a magazine! (OK, so we have never actually met). Very nice, Judy!
Good news, I got my sewing cabinets! I am in the process of organizing fabric and when everything is put away I will take pictures and show off. I am excited!

Yep, you added your own twist to the project, just like Mary and Jeanne did with theirs.
Very nice!! Are you keeping this one or sharing it with family?
I love your sawtooth borders. They make the quilt sing!
Looks great -- the sawtooth border adds just the right touch.

what a wonderful secondary pattern -- and the sawtooth just adds to the fun :-)
I'm pretty sure that I'm not an hour a day person either. My days are very different from each other.
Quilt looks great - I too saw the circles first up
Those saw tooth borders really add to it!
Yours is the first Lincoln's Platform that I noticed the 'ghost' of a secondary pattern-circles pop out at me. The sawtooth was a clever addition.
I like the secondary pattern with the circles. The quilt looks great.
Wow, that turned out beautifully! And the sawtooths (sawteeth???) really add pizazza. Great job.
