I like a challenge, but there are a few things that are just beyond my reach. Climbing Mount Everest? Not likely. Winning an Olympic gold medal? Nope. Walking out of my local quilt shop empty handed? Not on your life! But a scalloped binding? That’s an easy one!
This week Jenny has Darlene Zimmerman in the studio to show us how to finish a quilt with super-simple waves and scallops. Click HERE to watch!

I fell in love! It is so bright and happy! I love the color! So I bought a few…(three) layer cakes! and started to dream. 
The possibilities were endless really…I finally settled on an easy one…Cut one layer cake into hourglass blocks. and the second layer cake into four patch, the third may become the border…we shall see!
Then you mix up your fabric…(this, for me, is very time consuming:) Then you sew two sides together, 
press toward the dark fabric, and then join the two triangles and you’ll have a nice hourglass square…
Now onto the four patch…
Cut each of your squares in half horizontally and vertically…you will then have four 5″ squares. Mix them up and sew them back together! always pressing toward the dark and lining up your seams.
It’s really a fabulous (Easy) pattern…I’m still in love! I added a 3″ strip of white for the inner border….
Now I am debating what to do for the outer border…piano key? a scalloped edge? turquoise? lime green? yellow? red? This may take a while!!!
