Bucky Progress

The Bucky quilt is coming along nicely.  I am almost done with the top, just one border to go.  I have made the border, but was very sloppy with my seam allowance, and my 9.5" width turned out to be only 9" wide.  The cornerstone star block that will fit in the corner is way too wide.  I will have to rip the pieced border apart and resew it with skimpy-er seams.  Grrrrrrrrr!  What was I thinking!??  It seems I have done a lot of ripping out of this quilt!  I changed the background of the cornerstone stars from white to black,  I think it looks a lot better that way.  But I had to rip apart one of the stars so I could rotate the "Y" sections so the black is in the background position, and resew the block.  Very time consuming, but luckily I only had to do one that way.  Anyway, here are the 3 seams on the quilt that DO fit nicely!

I have decided to bind the quilt in the black/white herringbone fabric (looks gray in the picture.)  I think I will have enough to do it.  (Fingers crossed.)
