Two borders on.
The 16-patch is now framed with a border of 4.5 inches. I'm not quilting it yet but at least it's off the floor now and ready to put on the frame - when I'm ready.
Here's the Aunt Alice quilt laid out. It's really hard sometimes with my little helper. I have cut all of the pieces for this quilt now and it's in a bin - waiting for me to sew it all up.
This is the one I will be focusing on to get finished up. It will have a thin white border and then another, slightly wider border of brown with blue polka dots. I had it all finished last year BUT I was told it had to be longer. So, I had to figure out a way to add length while keeping with the overall pattern. The pattern is based on an Atkinson Design called Fire Escape. This one is my youngest daughter, Ayla's quilt. She chose the colours/fabrics.
I'm watching "Just for Laughs Gags" on TV. It's hilarious. Sort of like the old Candid Camera but without any words whatsoever. Tricks played on the unsuspecting public. I love the program and I laugh my head off. There aren't too many things that make me laugh out loud but this program sure does.
Hi Dolores,
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy and how wonderful all the quilts are.
Yes, I love some of those shows that make you laugh - the look on the faces is often delightful.
happy week

Love all three of your quilt tops. Lovely! I know what it's like with a "helper".. mine likes to get under the quilts or tops....
ReplyDeleteYour 16 patch looks amazing! Looking forward to the finish.
ReplyDeleteYou've been very busy; and, they look terrific.
ReplyDeleteWow! You have been busy! I love the 16 patch, but the other two are wonderful too. Love your helper!
ReplyDeleteYour helper gives a sense of the size the quilts so he's earning his keep. I love the 16 patch. That's going on my list of projects to make one day. I love all of your projects.
ReplyDeletethese are all brilliant....you have a lot of quilting ahead of you. I'm guessing you love that part though as much as all the others.
