If it is cut off, it will cut the quilter's life short. <br /><br />This is not good news for me - I must have taken YEARS off my life with the cut-off borders I've done!!!<br /><br />Cheryl in Friendsville<br />www.katydidart.net<br />katydidart60@yahoo.comCheryl in Friendsvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15519301065001221202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-2841352731259854742012-12-01T12:11:33.132-05:002012-12-01T12:11:33.132-05:00Oh no, what will happen to her prized collection? ...Oh no, what will happen to her prized collection?
