Well hello everyone! I just want to welcome Cathy to the blog, thanks so much for signing up! Things have been rather slow in the quilting department lately but a burst of creative energy over the weekend helped me get more work done on my Stoney Creek quilt.
 |
| Here it is, all finished - yoohoo! Even though it just looks like one large border, there are actually two borders on the quilt with a flange between them. |
 |
| Here's a better look at the borders. The first fabric is a darker turquoise fabric with a rust coloured flange sewn on to it. The second border is a blue-black batik. I wanted to create the look of a heavy frame around the quilt, like you would see on a piece of art. I'm still deciding if should keep it on or not. |
I'm linking up to the Needle and Thread Network for their WIP Wednesday. Be sure to stop by and see what everyone else is up to.
Cheers,
Mary-Frances
Looks fabulous Mary Frances - such an unusual design - I love it!
ReplyDeleteI think the blue black border works...it does look like a work of modern art:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing,such a striking design and what beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I like the rust coloured flange. Keep it up for a couple of days to see if you want to keep it the way it is or maybe make the outer border just a tad smaller.
ReplyDeleteThe pop of colour in the flange is nice. The 3D effect is showing nicely.
ReplyDeleteIt look so beautiful! I love the border - it definitely makes it look like a piece of modern art.
