Orca Bay Top is finished....

I finished adding the borders to my Orca Bay Mystery quilt. I like blue so I changed the inner border from white to blue and then added another wide blue border.
 Here's a close up of the borders.
And of course the Inspectors did their job right before I took the quilt top to remove the paper from the string blocks. This coming week I will be quilting.

Congrats on a BIG finish! I like the blue borders--they make it unique. It looks like a waterfall all around the edge to me!
Those inspectors don't leave any corner unturned, do they? What a relief that you passed!

I really like the blue borders. I may steal your idea :D I also have an inspector, Tigger, who has to give everything a CAT scan.
