Have you visited Jacque at http://lilypadquilting.blogspot.com? She is hosting a marvellous charity project with lots of wonderFULL prizes if you do yourself/her a favor and clear out your stash!!!!!!!! How awesom is that, you manicure your stash and you may win a prize and small children WIN by getting new clothes. Another wonderful quilter making a difference! The link is on my sidebar if you click on the photo.
And this border on this tiny quilt is a MacGyver Makeshift....I realized when I arrived at dodgeball I did not have my quilting suitcase...what to do....Well, I spied some duct tape....."What if I use the sticky side for a palette and cut out wonky sizes..." POOF! Now to buy a heavy duty needle to applique.

Thanks for posting this Em. What a great project.
I LOVE your little corduroy quilt. You are industrious with that duct tape. That's a new one! But isn't that the magic of making quilts? It's all about making do with what you have.
Love it Em! I agree with Nifty, many times the best quilt are those where you just do it! just create with what's on hand. I know my Grandma never bought fabric for quilts, and she made lots of them!
Yay Duct Tape!
I'm sending some of my stash for the Malawi project too. Awesome deal.
Okay.. I have never met any one who is as resourceful as you! Duct tape? Bravo, my friend!
I love your little bird quil. It is so adorable. You so inspire me with everything you do. Not much sewing here the last 2 weeks and I'm itching to work on something. Not sure I'll use Duct tape....lol Hugs
