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 absolutely LOVE this quilt so far! It is whimsical and charming, and the colors are wonderful together. I can't wait to see what you to it next!
Great combination of blocks for this one!
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.
Wowww—is that ever cute!!😻🤩😻 Nancy O.
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!
Excellent. I love it.
I like your way of thinking: wonky baskets, wonky windmills. They look great together. Anything else wonky in your bins? Enjoy! ;^)
