First Sewn
Although I am still puzzling through the New Year Goals and Plans and trying to rearrange, I enjoyed sewing this Plus or One Block Cross quilt together. The body of it was sewn by webbing and the border was done by sewing the charm blocks on two opposing sides to a cream, and then cutting it down the middle. I cut the corner blocks as I had a bit of that fabric set aside.

I hate the pinked edges too. If I buy any precuts this year it will be because I'm cutting the pieces into other shapes thus eliminating the pinking.
I don't like the pinked edges either. I still occasionally buy some if it is something I really want to play with. It amazes me that the manufacturers don't pay attention to how many of us dislike those edges.
Ditto on the edges! But I like your quick tip to make the border. Looks good.
No pinked edges for me either! Congrats on the sewn top!
This will make a good comfort quilt. I am working on my mystery quilt, it looks good.
Me, too!! Love your quilt - and I hate those pinked edges - they're more trouble than they're worth and I refuse to buy them anymore. I plan to use the ones I already bought in projects that do NOT require precision - like "string" or "crumb" blocks. Thanks for the tip on making the border - ;))
Nice finish Linda! I'm another who hates pinked edges!
