Wednesday February 6

This Poseidon is now a top, but although it is very pretty it is also quite small, 49" square.  Okay for a baby quilt I guess, but I am thinking of adding borders to make it at least a lap quilt size.  I can't find the directions from when I started this a few years ago, so don't know why I cut squares the size I did.  Oh well, it is at least finished this far!  This is all Kona cottons.
NEWSFLASH!!
For days, after mulling over how to enlarge this quilt without destroying the simple lines, looking over ideas for borders, and generally stressing over this quilt, I have come to the conclusion that the best idea is to add 5 or so more rows, thus making it rectangular. Then I'll be in good position to add simple borders using leftover fabric to enlarge it more.  Now I feel better, I can relax and get on to the next project. It was granddaughters suggestion to just add more rows...

Beautiful and it will stay that way for years with Kona cottons.
