Yes, one of the flowers floats higher than the others. I am trying to let that NOT bother me.
(I used a tiny zigzag stitch and I don't want to have to rip that out.)
The narrow border is actually a flange. (That's a tip o' the hat to both Libby and Joy whose current projects have flanges.)
I'm still auditioning borders, but this turquoise-with-blue (from the batiks I bought from Libby earlier in July) may do it.
The wall hanging is awkwardly displayed because the design wall is occupied by something new. I needed to let the wall hanging simmer but I had to sew something. I have hundreds of HSTs trimmed and sorted by size, stored away in the Parts & Orphans Department.
I pulled out two bags with 3.5" HSTs and began sewing them in pairs -- going for light and dark contrast, no color coordination. I sewed two pairs together to make 6" blocks. I still have more to sew. I'm aiming for a quilt that is as big as the number of blocks I can get out of this batch of HSTs.
When we watch reporters and the people they interview we try to make out the titles of the books on their shelves -- and I'm sure I'm not the only quilter who'd like to know about the quilt on Nick Shifrin's sofa! (I wrote to the PBS Newshour and asked but they haven't replied.)

P.S. I'm going to have a fabric acquisition adventure today -- stay tuned!
