Margaret's Yellow Brick Road Finished!!

Margaret pieced this Yellow Brick Road so beautifully!! She did something that I have not seen done before, and I really like it.  Instead of attaching the narrow inner border the conventional way, she actually appliqued it in place.  I outlined this narrow border, and it really popped!  I know it must have been a ton of work to do it this way, but worth it!

The quilting design we chose is called Bloomingdale from our Ann Bright Collection:

Here's a shot of that appliqued inner border:
