As I worked on the finishing touches to this quilt top, I allowed my trimming to get somewhat out of hand. First, I placed some grey trim along the edge of the top.
And then I wanted to add some red. The off-white will be the border. I couldn't find another colour that matched well (One of my favourite readers recommended I use the bluish-green colour for a border. That would have been a beautiful addition. I tried hard to find that colour, but gave up. My lesson learned here is to plan my quilt better (i.e., buy border and/or sashing fabric) when I am buying fabric!).

Hand quilting, ambitious, but a good summer activity.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate! I'll see how it goes...
DeleteLove the border, the greys with the red, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam!
DeleteI honestly think you dont`have to worry Laurel hand quilting is very relaxing, now days what I love is that you can quilt any size stitch and it is accepted, so if they are big they had character and dimension to the quilt if they are small they add some other design element. Enjoy and don`t fret can`t wait to see the freedom of your hand quilting! thanks for visiting your comments are inspiring
