Now that I am finished with the body of this wall hanging quilt, I just need to know what kind of border to add to it. I was thinking the same pansy print fabric that is in the quilt, but I’m not sure. I also can’t seem to make up my mind on how wide of a border. Any suggestions?

Tales of polyester thread have been spun all over the internet. Some of them, are ridiculously false, and some of them, I have no idea if they are true or not.
I was recently reading a book on rotary cutting, and the author says that polyester thread will cut through your quilt and will ruin it. I thought to myself, “that’s bleeding ridiculous”, and I call shenanigans! Think about that for a second. Would polyester thread cut through your cotton quilt? No!

I have plenty of cotton shirts with polyester thread, and I highly doubt that any amount of stress a quilt will be under would be far less than the seam on the sleeve of the one of my work shirts. Think about a silk blouse. This clearly isn’t true! I know there are quite a few people who hate all things polyester. I’m not saying I love the fabric, but the thread is nice in my opinion!

I finished making all of the pinwheel quilt blocks. It really only took me about 2 hours to cut and sew them all. I think it took more time to pick out the fabric, than it did to cut and sew it. I had to go digging for that red! I knew I had it, but it took me quite a while to find it. I am very excited for it, and I wish I had the time to sew it tonight. Unfortunately I have to do a few other projects tonight planned out. I didn’t really account for the time I lost cleaning the kitchen! This is why I’ll never clean my house again! Just kidding!
