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!
ReplyDeleteGreat combination of blocks for this one!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWowww—is that ever cute!!😻🤩😻 Nancy O.
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI like your way of thinking: wonky baskets, wonky windmills. They look great together. Anything else wonky in your bins? Enjoy! ;^)
