I love peeps.... Do you use them bordering quilts......
I cut 1 in strips........ Fold in 1/2 and iron.
When sewing on the quilt I only sew with 1/8 in seams. When you sew the next border on it gets the full 1/4 in sewn in as it is exactly over the top on the peep.
Doesn't it look great.......gives it a real pop.......
So last night I definitely got my 10 mins in as I made two backings - taught my apprentice how to make them and she joined one length and i put these borders almost on....?
This morning I attached the last two wide border sides and joined two rows of my nine patch together........
Catch you later......

Yes peeps look great ... you've done a whole weeks 10mins and more...
Love peeps. They look great. Hugs, xx
Goodness.. you suddenly started super blogging and I am behind on reading! Love all your projects, and yes I love peepers too.. I do them the same way as you... Good luck on your 10 min challenge! xx
I’ve never made a peep - but now I really want to! Looks great.
think I might need to take up this 10 minute challenge, you are doing so much!
love the peep border, might need to try this on some quilts (if I ever get to sew some!)
I like the look of the peepers too. Good job
Beautiful! I'd never heard that term for "peeps". I thought you were talking about baby chickens!
You are still on fire....love the peeper....it does add a special touch!
You're so talented! And still rolling along even though it's horrid hot!
Thank you for the tutorial, I love this look and might try it now you have explained it so well!
looks great..... they do make it pop
Hugz
Amazing what can be achieved in 10 minutes. Great result.
I've never heard them called peeps, but what a great name! And it might be just what I need for a very ugly quilt I'm finishing. Thanks for the idea!!
I adore these peep borders. Did my one and only on my Nature's journey quilt.
I really like the pop of colour that a peeper border gives, excellent for giving that extra "something" to a quilt that is a bit ho-hum.
ok that's it I am coming out to get my mojo back
Sewing mojo that is!
The peeper certainly sets it off. Your are really on a roll.
The peeper looks great. Really lifts the quilt.
