Happy Monday, Everyone! I hope you had a good weekend, and am looking forward to another new week. I had mentioned to you that I got a bit carried away when designing a quilt using the Northcott Twilight Garden fabrics. Upon completing the applique of 224 leaves on the quilt top, I worked on my piecing my fancy schmancy border. It didn’t look all that hard from the design on my computer screen, but it is a different matter entirely in real life. It took me quite a few hours to make the border happen. So, I present you a sneak peak of the complete quilt top with the fancy schmancy border:
The quilt will be quilted by yours truly on a domestic machine this week, and will hopefully reach the editor’s desk at The Quilter at the appointed time! This quilt is scheduled for the May 2010 issue in The Quilter.
May your week unfold into a week of all plesantness. Please check back later for my giveaway post on this Thursday.
It looks fabulous — those elongated diamonds were a brilliant idea for the border!!
That does look difficult — I would never have gotten all diamond shapes uniform. It’s beautiful.
Stunning!
I wouldn’t even know where to begin to design something like that, let along execute it!
You are a wonder, Wendy!
Blessings!
That is a fancy border. It would take me quite some time to get it done too. I like it a lot though. The quilt is really nice and I do like the brown and blue so much.
It really is looking good Wendy! Love these colors…
Wendy, this is just fabulous! You are so creative, and I love the border and the design of this one. No wonder your quilts are featured in magazines. They are works of art!
Happy Blue Monday to you…
XO,
