| Philadelphia quilt with borders, partial view. |
Mitering the border went fairly well although some of the stripe intersections need adjusting. The quilt squares up nicely; my photos are just a bit off.

The back is mainly a cream/brown/blue plaid enlarged with random brown fabrics. Bears are printed on the narrow strip. (I tried to find alligators.)

The main seams are ditch stitched. I'm thinking about diagonals with the walking foot for the rest of the quilting.
Enjoy the day, Ann

What a great block! And the choices are great!
Thanks, Helen. It is a fun and easy block.
I love seeing the fabric in close up shots. Ann, that mitered corner is amazing - it is really hard for me to get strips to match up perfectly in a miter. The fabrics, pattern, and backing all make this look like it is a beautiful antique quilt, handed down in your family. Make sure you label it, LOL - It made me laugh to think that someday, a few generations from now, someone might mistake it for an even older quilt.
It is fun to see close ups and good overall photos. I'm not too fond of the crumpled up views. What a funny idea! More work for those quilt historians I'm planning to keep so busy.
Wow, that mitered corner is perfect; that would take me days! I love the blue border, tiny but very effective.
The corner isn't perfect. But it may have to do. I love the blue border, too. It's a bit of Jonathan Shannon's hand dyed fabrics I was fortunate enough to pick up last year. There's still some left, too.
I've always been a fan of this block and your mitered corners are amazing with that stripe.:)
Thanks, Audrey. It reminds me of several of yours (although this one is much simpler.) I do like the striped border and wish I had more of that fabric.
