I was actually beginning to run out of 2" squares after 4 sides of this blended border. But that was the whole point of the exercise for me.....clear out the old to make room for some fresh cuts.
I plan on giving Hot Legs--Tiara--a work out this week, as I have several projects waiting. And I will get this one to the pinned stage, too.
I am so ready to get back to the sewing room. My head is spinning with numbers and questions. I think that tax agency should be gobbled up by the quilt police, flayed and diced with a rotary cutter, and if that is not enough stick a handful of pins in them. There now, that little spurt of a rant felt good. Have a happy week of stitching.

your border looks great! I did the same thing, used up the old supply of squares and am cutting a whole new batch.
It is just wonderful - yes, always good to clear out and use up.
So beautiful. And that is the best use for the quilt police I have heard. They should go after others for our benefit!
This is very pretty - I like the luminosity of the lighter strips against the background color, and your blending in the border looks great. I need to try that out!
Looking good!
I think my DD will be feeling like that pretty soon! She started a book-keeping course at TAFE today and will be attending three days a week!
Beautiful on it's way to gorgeous. I really like the thin dark (black?) border.
Your rant made me laugh. After helping my Dad with his taxes I have had similar feelings. : )
Beautiful flimsy finish, Debbie. You are such a master of the watercolor techniques.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you and Hot Legs (love that name) come up with!
Just gorgeous! I'm excited that I found this pattern in one of my books - adding it to my list. I think I have a bit of hoarder in me... I tend to pull the squares that I have the most of to use.
