March border
Here is the top border! I don't always feel like sewing the borders but know that I will be happy later on when the quilt can just be sewn together and quilted.
Now I can be marked off for March. Must get started on the April blocks soon!

I know what you mean...I see we have to sew the next in-between strip with May and wish I'd done it with this one..Although they are the easiest part of the quilt...was going to trace the next blocks today but got side tracked doing scrapbooking and jewelry... Mama Bear
I try to discipline myself to do as you are too. Do the not so fun but necessary parts of a quilt as I go so it does not become a dreaded task later. I am trying a quilt as you go method for this quilt so when I am done with the top piecing, I am done.

Those fabrics in your border are so sweet! Very pretty!
