My first attempt at adding borders to the squares resulted in a typical rookie mistake of the squares not lining up at the end.
I am not going do much quilting on or around the squares on this project, just affix a fleece material as the backing and a dark blue binding. I did purchase the template to do borders, bringing my investment to this hobby to about $200.
I will never again back a quilt with fleece. It was difficult to work with, puckered up and skewed the quilt top.
