Investigating into a closet, I found an entire box of red/white/blue fabrics, obviously forgotten. There was even a book wrapped inside the fabrics. For me, "out of sight, out of mind"! (That also works in reverse when shopping!) But I made this Log Cabin recently. And I must admit to using that 8 in. Log Cabin Trim Tool, to justify purchasing it years ago, and frankly, I liked it. Sometimes I get too casual and careless when sewing a simple pattern but using the Trim Tool kept me much neater, more precise. My border finishes at 1 inch white, 2 inch for red, 3 inch for dark blue. I use that 1,2,3 calculation a LOT for borders.
Stay well and safe, everyone.
Beautiful Quilt. I'm a prime example of out of site out of mind.
