Oh Susannah Quilt (See also: 22 December 2009)
This quilt motif was designed using an augmented Oh Susannah block.
It needs a border.
It needs a border.
What if I join the ends of the Brown "strings" and connect some of the light yellow as well?
This completes the motif but I don't have a border yet.
What if I forget about a border and think in terms of a background instead?
I can place the motif on a white background and finish it with brown binding.
Normally a border acts as a frame that limits the image. In this case the image is self limiting and floats on the background
Another very intersting border effect.

ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to try doing things a little different.
One thing different about this is that the binding becomes a little more important than is usual; it almost takes over the roll of the border (but not quite).
