This quilt resulted from the left over blocks and fabric strips from my original #Hashtag quilt.
The narrow blue borders are quarter inch flanges. This resulted in a change to my proposed quilting as they would not be appropriate for a circle quilting or narrow vertical line quilting. Instead it was a 'decision' as you go design. I quilted all of it using a walking foot.
