Now I could cut them up and start arranging, a little dab of LAPEL stick ( I love this product) holds it all in place as I play to find a layout I like. As an added bonus, the paper version can be used as my placement template.........its just too easy!!!
Then I got busy making the required number of pieces in fabric using my preferred method (freezer paper and gluestick) you can read an earlier post that describes this method here

The borders match your applique so beautifully ...you have captured me again with your work.
Once again, you've pushed the boundaries and discovered something wonderful. I can't wait to see this finished. Are your applique fabrics batiks? The colors are luscious.

Sounds like a wonderful product. Would love to win one. Thanks. Your quilt is just gorgeous!
Oh my goodness look at that quilt....how beautiful! Are you going to hand quilt it? I never thought to design a border this way...your brain must work overtime!
No I haven't tried the glue, thanks for the chance to win one.
Happy Sewing
Well I'd never heard of lapel stick before and checked out the site and yes I'd LOVE to have one. I do a lot of fiber art and I think this would be great.
Love your border - not sure I have the patience to do the appliqué like that now, but would love to try it someday.
I think I remember you mentioning this glue stick but I forgot (already!)...go figure! If I was lucky enough to win, at least I would have it to try! Your piece is BEAUTIFUL (as usual!). Clever process also.
What a great product, a very useful item for any textile artist. I love your quilt, thanks for sharing your design methods.
I would love a chance to win a lapel glue stick. Your quilt is beautiful.
Would love to try one!
I would love to try it.
This is a cool product...I see more paper piecing and applique in my future.
This would probably beat using spray on basting stuff in my basement when I try to keep my pieces of fabric from moving-much safer!
I've never heard of it but I'm game t try anything. Your work is beautiful.
I love Lapel Stick and I've run out! Thanks for the giveaway!
Lovely stocking stuffer!!!
OMGosh...that looks amazing. You do such an incredible job with applique.
Beautiful border Jill! please put my name in the hat.

thanks for sharing.
I have not seen this product but I would love to try it out.
The quilt is looking pretty darn good.
Jill,
Your border looks amazing.

I have not tried this product but I would love to try it out. I usually use a regular glue stick.
I love how your project is progressing and I would love to try the lapel glue stick. I have been wanting to do more applique.
Would love to win one. Your quilt is lovely.

Wonderful border. Hmmm, RR style...does that mean you're planning to add more borders? I'd love to try the LAPEL stick on my next applique project! Rita
lovely applique, Jill! I'd love to try the lapel stick because I'm tired of being poked by the pins holding my applique pieces in place. thanks for the chance.
Wonderful quilt and applique!!! I love the fact you went beyond the original and 'made it your own'. Can't wait to see the finished quilt!!! The LABEL product sounds like something I could use. I also love to applique', but have never used a product like the one you are giving away.
I really like the applique border you added. Nice craftyness! We don't have Lapel Stick here in the Netherlands, at least not by that name but i would love to try it if i could.
I'm not home at the moment.... but on the way... I picked up some new fabrics, and will be ready to start something new soon. A LAPEL stick would certainly help!
Oh this quilt is going to be GORGEOUS!!!!!
Oh my -- this quilt is going to be beautiful! Thanks for the chance to try the LAPEL stick! :)
Oooo yes count me in!
never heard of it but love to give it a try. 2012 is an applique year for me. help me out! LOL
thanks

I've been searching for inspiration on designing an applique border for a double wedding ring quilt. You post has given me some great ideas! I will also be using motifs from Erin's designs. I will definitely be photocopying bits and pieces to play with. Thanks!
I was very interested in your designing method for you border. I have my World of Blossoms applique blocks (20 hand appliqued) I need to design a border (well setting as well). This will help me, thanks for sharing. I'll start as soon as I get over this stumpness of not knowing where to start.
A como ficarei contente de ganhar, quero experimentar. beijos liége
