Indigo Way--It's a Top--post 7

 Goal number six on my July list was to work on the border for Indigo Way. I took a few deep breaths and trimmed the edges of the center to be able to add the two narrow borders. Once I trimmed the center, I did take a "victory lap" as Bonnie calls it to stabilize the bias edges. I stitched one eighth inch away from the edge.

I did reclaim the leftover triangles. I'll use these somehow in a future project. I also reclaimed 2 1/2 inch strips. Those will end up in a string project.

Skinny borders

I cut the neutral strips and added them to the edge. I also cut the dark blue strip and added it to the edge.

Then it was time to piece the segments from clue six into four strips and make the corners. I did quite a bit of unsewing/resewing to achieve good centers and clean points.

To reduce the bulk, I pressed the seam allowances open. Miraculously, the strips fit the skinny borders! It is now a TOP! Next month, I'll figure out the pieced back, cut the batting and get it to the quilter.
