WIP Wednesday: the one where I make decisions

First, if you're interested in taking part in a 5 yard color spectrum charm swap, head on over here and sign up. There's 15ish spots available All full! Hope you got in!

On to progress. My granny square top is done minus the borders. I've decided that this border is the one I want. Which is going to be a lot of work, a little math, even more pins and quite a few more white squares and strips. But it's gonna be gorgeous!

Can't wait until this one is on my bed!

And on to my Pam Kitty Morning pinwheels. I have the first three rows sewn together, complete with sashing and cornerstones. I'm thinking ahead on the border.
LinkCall me crazy, but I LOVE this border. And I'm going to do it (in the comments section, she very kindly gives some of the measurements to make our lives so much easier!). I just have to cut more fabric and sew a boatload of baby pinwheels. So much for being almost done with these two quilt tops? But I find that a pieced border makes me school-girl giggly happy. So I'm going to do it.

Linking up!

    I love your granny squares. Yours may have pushed me over the edge into thinking that I *need* to make some of my own:)

    I'm working on my own granny square quilt using some solids and a "Reunion" charm pack. I'm definitely going to copy your use of the little squares in the sashing. AND...I'm NOT going to do that very time-consuming yet lovely border. :-)

    Gorgeous ideas! Those baby pinwheels look way too fiddly for me, though! :)

    Both of those borders are going to be amazing! They will be well worth the extra work I'm guessing :)
