Borders, Binding, Mysteries, and...it's complicated ;-)

Working on multiple projects ALL at the same time - do you ever do this?  It can get confusing IF one does not keep things organized!

Luckily, we have that under control, at least for the time being ;-)

First, added borders to our Doris's 100th Quilt of Valor quilt top - all ready to be quilted in time for our 2018 Veteran's Day Celebrations!

Doris's 100th QOV gets ALL bordered out - ready for quilting!

Like to sew these borders on in 'marathon-style':

Sewing on the last side border

And then there was the binding of 'another' QOV:

Attaching binding

Top-stitching the binding in place w/decorative stitch & thread

We like to use a decorative stitch for attaching the front of the binding w/matching machine quilting thread for a nice, secure touch:

Our favorite machine stitch to use is this applique pen-stitch - finishes out securely and beautifully

And then there was the quick organizing that needed to be done, (actually not so quick - took almost two days but, at least it's done!)

1 tub down - Only three more to go for Fall Cleaning/Organizing!

Just in time to try and get caught up on one of our latest Patriotic Mysteries by Lisa Sutherland of www.QuiltJubilee.com

Clue #2 of one of our latest Patriotic Mysteries in the works:

Will need to go back and finish Clue #1 over the weekend!

In the meantime, need to finish binding this beauty:

Quilted w/Becker's Shooting Star quilt design w/#5088 Fantastico Grain Acres - ALL ready for binding!

Later,
