Many times vinegar is used to set the color in fabric also. I know we use to do it with new swim suits that you didn't want to fade in the chlorine in the swimming pool.

Thanks for pointing this out. I thought of this use this morning as well.

This has been interesting about the vinegar uses. Growing up, we used to put vinegar as a rinse on our hair. It makes your hair really soft and acts as a pretty inexpensive lightener. All of the girls in my school thought we were pretty cool cause we would get these light streaks down our hair. Nowadays, you have to pay big dollars at a hair salon for highlights.

Also, mix some vinegar with water and mist on a sunburn to relieve the pain.

And, Easter is coming! I just bought a gallon of vinegar. But, alas, not for dying eggs. What I am using it for is scaling my humidifier every few days. :lol: :lol:

I like planned pieced borders even when in the same color, even solids. If you piece it in blocks sized to end up in corresponding places to the rest of the top, it looks quite intentional and gives you demarcations for quilting patterns too. Just an idea. Cheers.

Thanks a great idea Betty Jo! I may end up doing just that when it gets to those long borders on the BOM.
