I finally got the log cabin blocks assembled into a top this afternoon and then after dinner I added a 3-1/2 inch neutral border....then came the real work, getting into my stash and cutting up some strips to make a piano key border for it. I didn't want to have to repeat any fabrics on each side but I think I did use 2... Here's a picture with the first side border laying next to it tonight. I'm too tired to continue sewing so tomorrow I will start the assembly of the other 3 borders and then during the football game I can finish the top off. I cannot believe I held these blocks in a ziploc bag for close to 4 years and did nothing with them...
What do you think?

Peggy, it's beautiful!! I'm so glad you got them out and are making the quilt. It's going to be so pretty!
Beautiful! Love the piano key border!
That border is the perfect choice -- really sets the blocks off and plays up the color theme beautifully.
I love your piano key borders! Seems I've seen that before on your blog. I'll have to try it sometime. This is lovely!
I think it's just beautiful! :0)
good job Peg!
I think you blocks aged very well in the zip lock baggie, the quilt will be beautiful. How do you finish a quilt during the Super Bowl?
