Playing with Borders
Broken Dishes Quilt (See also: 14 February 2010)
I created this queen size bed quilt using, for the most part, Broken Dishes blocks. I am not finished yet. before I can begin sewing I need to give it a border.
This quilt top needs a simple border. One that won't compete with the intricate pattern of the top itself.
What if I simply repeat the pinwheel block all around the outside of the quilt?
The dark orange-yellow squares become a little more prominent.
A binding strip using the red-brown fabric finishes the border nicely.

ReplyDeleteI have no idea how I'm going to quilt this. So I'm looking forward to my ideas too. What I do know is that I'm going to try. And that when I try something usually happens that surprises and pleases me. I also know that if I don't try I will be disappointed for sure.
Wayne, I think you are brilliant. Simply brilliant. I love your blog, it gives me so many great ideas. I'm going to Amazon right now to buy your book. Thanks for sharing your utter brilliance, LOL!
