Building a Border


 For a very, very long time, I thought I should make the border of the seahorse quilt out of seahorse tails. Then I had the idea to make the border out of seahorse ears (or whatever those things are sticking out of the top of the head).  I also remembered the Sun Chips quilt that had chips that bounced around thanks to borders on two sides. So disembodied seahorse "ears" have the look of bubbles. Success!

So all I had to do was make a hundred or so more seahorses and cut off their "ears" and now I may have enough to border the quilt.


And here is Molly after a very satisfying day (for her) fraying every last one of my nerves.

  1. Oooo! Love the bubbles!
    Molly certainly does look a bit self-satisfied. I wouldn't turn my back. (Psst... don't tell her I said that)

  2. I love your bubble border - what a great idea! I do feel for all those seahorses swimming around without their ears, though :-)
