In order that this process doesn't become monotonous and becoming abandoned again, I'm playing a silly game. I'm appliqueing my leaf units willy nilly along the four borders. That way, the four borders will get done in a more interesting way and at the end, I will just need to fill in the gaps instead of doing one full border at a time. Boring .....
To aid me in getting them done this way, all the areas where the leaves and circles are to go have already been marked. That in itself was a tedious task, but so very helpful now. Also, all the leaves have been prepped also. Just more circles will need to be made.
So, this is what I will be working on this week.
Have a great day!

The applique adds the perfect touch. It is going to be beautiful. Good luck sticking to your plan.
Wow! This is a gorgeous quilt. I know it's a simple pattern but the colors and fabrics you've chosen give it so much interest and beauty. Your double sashing and then the applique around the edges are a perfect finish! I know what you mean about being bored or finding some parts of quilting monotonous. I feel that way when I have to repeat quilt parts with the same fabric, either pieced or applique. But for the good of the quilt....
You're right......working on a random border will be fun, and you will soon notice the gaps between leaves getting smaller!
Any little mind game can work to get each of us through a part that seems to go on forever. The applique border is striking and will add so much to your quilt.
IT is wonderful and will be so worth a finish!
Love that border! The applique....the blue on green....awesome!
