Playing with Borders
Oh Susannah Quilt (See also: 26 December 2009)
This quilt motif was designed using an Oh Susannah block that has been combined with other blocks.
I need to find it a border.
What if I connect the dark green squares by going around the corners?
This is a good start.
What if I repeat the center diamond of the Oh Susannah block, placing it in the gaps? Then I can finish the design by adding a red border.
I am happy with this but I want to try one more thing.
What if I repeat some of the center design in the corners?
I am happy with this too.

Wayne,
ReplyDeleteI like everything about this one. The centre panel is great on its own, but the WOW factor really kicks in when the border is added.
As I have been having a second look through all the posts, I have realised just how much I think pretty much every design needs to be finished with a border.

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what a difference a border can make to a quilt.
Too often borders get neglected in the rush to finish a quilt. It's worth the extra time and effort to see that a quilt gets the right border.
Wayne... love this block.... How would it look if placed on a point as a medallion?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Susana and this would be a perfect quilt for me!!... Love your blog...

ReplyDeleteI think this would work very well on point as a medallion quilt. If you want to try it, e-mail me a picture; I would love to see the results.
