I know I should wait until after the BAMQG meeting to crow, but I can’t! I just finished this top yesterday and am THRILLED with the way it came out. The border is much simpler than I originally thought I would make, but I think it brings out all the piecing in the individual blocks. So far, I am in love.
I am planning to work on the back today. I have a large piece of the Martha Negley Mum Toss print (lower right hand corner of photo, below) to put on the back. The main color is the same as the very outer border of the front. Also, that weird gold is included in the Martha Negley print. I have to do a label and a binding, but I think I can do both tomorrow.
Yea for your finish! I absolutely love the border as it frames the quilt perfectly.
Thanks for your kind words! I am really pleased with how it came out. I hope the quilting doesn’t ruin it!
That is awesome!! The border color is just so perfect with the blocks. Really nice!
Thanks, Sandi. I am really happy with the colors I chose and how it came out.
I’m glad you posted it early! I *love* the grey frames and red sashing — it really sets of the beautifully pieced blocks!
Thanks, Kelly. I am really pleased with how it came out. The colors came together very well.
Looooooove the finished top – of course I loved your blocks during the quilt-along and new it was going to be a wonderful quilt, but didn’t expect the sashing to add so much! Can’t wait to see it Saturday.
