After the center of the quilt was done, it needed 11 inches on each side to fit it to a queen size. My first border finishes at 1.5, then 2 inches, then 3 inches, then 5.
I'm liking it!
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

Mitered Multiple Borders, DD
This dark and murky photo does NOT do justice to this mitered, multiple border treatment, but then I couldn't climb up on the table for the best photo effect. (There are four borders.) The second photo is a little too washed out but ... You may notice one border has two different greens. I am 'making do' with pieces that were similar, in keeping with this scrappy DD. The borders are sewn together, just not sewn to the quilt.

DD progress - 4 blocks
So far, so good! I'm thinking it could use some pale melon lights, to brighten it up a tad.
Suggestion - If you're just starting, pay attention to accurate measuring of those square in a squares. After that, it's all easy!
I counted the number of pieces -- oh my, good thing I didn't know at the onset or I would have been scared away from doing this beauty!
