Another Border Added



I'm just popping in for a brief post.

I've been working in my gardens most days; however, it rained yesterday so I spent a little time in my sewing room.  My May theme to move UFOs forward is "Baskets".  Earlier in the month I showed the Wonky Baskets with the first border of Flying Geese. Yesterday I added the dark gray border, made some four inch finished Wonky Windmills and made them into a border.  I can never think of what to add for borders on a medallion quilt. I figured since baskets were wonky I would add the Wonky Windmills made with 2.5 x 3 inch rectangles of scraps (2 of background and 2 of windmill fabric) I pulled out of the 2.5 and 3 inch width scrap bins.   I still need to add another border or two. I plan on a larger sized comfort quilt close to 50 x 70 or 60 x 80 inches. 

And sew on...

I love the wonky windmill border on this top, perfect in color and design. It is hard to decide on the borders for a medallion style quilt.

Oh the addition of the border is perfect, the wonky windmills compliment the wonky baskets perfectly. This is such a cheery quilt in the making, I'm looking forward to seeing your next border addition.

You have done a wonderful job on that. I really like that grey inner border. Even though grey is a dull color, it seemed to add an air of elegance to the quilt. I love it. Yippee to grey. I have a lot of it!

I like your way of thinking: wonky baskets, wonky windmills. They look great together. Anything else wonky in your bins? Enjoy! ;^)
