And a...The string blocks make an excellent border! And as for teaching Chloe to catch snakes, when we lived in the country in TX, we had 9 outdoor kitties, and the only snakes we saw were the dead ones the cats left as gifts. They even surrounded a big hairy tarantula as it crossed the yard until I got there with a hoe to dispatch it before it reached the house. So Chloe may very well earn her keep, as more than quality control chief or quilt-way model!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10988655883143861211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-61644389800411838932008-06-02T19:54:00.000-04:002008-06-02T19:54:00.000-04:00looks like Chloe is fitting in just f-i-n-e, Fine!...looks like Chloe is fitting in just f-i-n-e, Fine! in the sewing room! :) I love those strings as boarders - HOW FUN! :) <BR/><BR/>Love from Texas! ~bonniebingo~bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591187786013490106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47648800726420157102008-06-02T18:46:00.000-04:002008-06-02T18:46:00.000-04:00Wow! those string borders really set off the cent...Wow! those string borders really set off the centers nicely don't they! gosh I love the way they look!Quilts And Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043640520513261597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-9539696249113894802008-06-02T17:03:00.000-04:002008-06-02T17:03:00.000-04:00The String borders really made that quilt.

As in "Hurry Mom has a quilt on the floor for us to lay on or maybe it's a new tug toy. Let's take it outside." When Max was 1 & Sadie a puppy they took the quilt right off the bed & out through the dog door. Good thing it was getting old & had a lot of wear or they would be dead!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233457578406343149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-56124893387729234072008-06-02T14:26:00.000-04:002008-06-02T14:26:00.000-04:00Chloe is great!

Ever since I found your site I've been putting together "miles & miles" of strings, whenever I get a free moment. Now I have a very nice idea for a border of my own on a beginer ender quilt I'm working on as I do my Orange Crush. Thanks Bonnie.<BR/> Love the kitty by the way.
