Hi, y'all, this is Ruth here

Back from several trips over the summer and autumn - really changed my veiw of borders...so I was thinking of what i would do for "Bordering on the Extravagant", but ofcourse I'm not allowed to enter!

Richard and I drove across Europe from West to East (and back again) which gave me ideas of making a quilt of borders each one showing a little something of the characters of the countries we drove through. 

Outward bound: Scotland, England, The Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia,  Hungary, Romania and finally out of Europe into the Republic of Moldova.

Homeward bound: Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, England and SCOTLAND! 

Now don't tell me that wouldn't make an interesting quilt, please don't hold your breath though it might be a while in the making.

Happy quilting and looking forward to seeing 2008 entries - do ask if there is anything you need to know.

Ruth
