That's the cushion I made for the magazine above, and to the right is how the blocks looked together when I had 27 of them. I really like the effect of the blues and oranges in various shades together. This weekend I finally rounded the blocks up to 30 and pieced them together. Then I decided they needed a border.
I cannot express how happy I am with this quilt top. For me, the border makes a huge difference to the overall look of it. I like the pattern floating on the white. The borders also brought it up to a size that was more to my liking. It measures approximately 58" x 68" now.
I still have to source a backing fabric. And I plan on using medium to dark blues in a scrappy binding. But I am that much closer to a finish and a Christmas present for someone on my list. I know where this will be headed but will refrain from saying on the off chance that person ever looks at this blog.

ReplyDeleteThis turned out so beautiful. I think stitch Tease is the Best bee of people that can't meet in person. Each person is kind, generous and on time with their blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt's really lovely, I especially like the colours you have used in the blocks. Well done!

ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. It would go lovely in Helen's new room! If I had a blog my daughter would surely read it, just to check what I said about her!
