......from all of the commissioned sewing here that is and working on a new quilt project. I had so much fun this past weekend at the quilt retreat that I couldn't resist starting a new quilt project last night/this morning. When finished it will probably end up as a donation quilt for Sunshine.The focus print is actually two pillow panels that I bought about 15 years ago at Ben Franklin's in Phoenix. The store went out of business many years ago and the fabric languished in my stash of fabrics that I had pulled for 'kits'. When getting ready for the retreat last week I had pulled three coordinating fabrics which I've added in the asymmetrical piano key border that connects the two blocks. The current size is about 20" wide by 38" long. And I'm happy to say that I was able to correctly miter the corners to put the border on.
Next up will be a narrow border of a darker color all the way around. Then I want to put something down both sides, and then finish with a final border around the whole thing. What I haven't figured out is what I want to put down the sides of the quilt to add width to it. Any one got any ideas?
Gratitudes:
1. Weather out here has finally cooled off!
2. Only 2 weeks till the next quilt retreat. =)
Not sure. I think it needs to be something that continues the off-centeredness of it. I'm trying to figure out exactly what that would be, but not quite sure.
ReplyDeletebear paw blocks! and I like the off-centered look about it, too...maybe 6" blocks on one side and 8" blocks on the other?
