For some reason decided to finally sew on the four borders of my Imperial Blooms. Maybe I just wanted to see a quilt on the wash line. Will have to wait for winter to be quilted, it's very heavy and hot and is definitely a quilt that will have to be machine quilted. I sure love it. A huge splash of color from my usual primitive quilts.
I've added this note after Dorothy commented about packing it in the car. It was one of many that I packed during the fire threat, but I had to scramble to find the borders, maybe that's why I decided to sew it together today. The BOM was gifted to me by my sewing group after Jim died when I didn't think I would have the money to buy the rest of the BOM or pick up a needle to sew again. It's a very special quilt in so many ways.
Your quilt is wonderful. The colours are great. Just pack it up and put in the car for safety. Hope your weather improves soon.

A wonderful finish, Nancy. Brighter colors but still very prim style. And I can well understand why the quilting has to wait until cooler weather. It has been a very hot summer for most of our country. Wonder what winter will be like this year.
