Sorry again about the color of this picture - I just can't get it right when I try to get the whole quilt in the shot.
Here are some close-ups of some of the squares and rectangles I added to the border strips and the color is truer.
I still need to sew the borders on, but that shouldn't take too long. I cannot wait to get this one off to the long arm quilter!
I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced today. Check out all the inspiration!
happy stitching-

Not a big fan of batiks but the bright colors of this one are making take a second look at them. Artsy-fartsy indeed! Love it!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the bright batiks. I like the squares in the middle better than a border. Good job.
ReplyDeleteClever girl! Batiks are calling my name and they're beginning to shout. I love that turquoise - it really makes the other fabrics shine and its making me think of summer, sandy beaches, and drinks with umbrellas! Very cool quilt!
ReplyDeleteOk- you did great with the border problem. I like the modernish look you have given it. And just so you know - I made a nightgown out of the orange fabric. (can we say colorful?) Really pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteI linked up too! This looks like such a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! And very creative! I love it when I can use what's at hand!
ReplyDeleteClever you! Don't you love it when an inspiration is bang on
