I had a practise with zig zags of various sorts, and tried stars (which didn't work at all). I could have done a stippled border (whee! Loads of fun!) but I didn't think a swirly border would work well with the rest of the quilt either.
Then I had a eureka moment, though, after I saw Joanna's Christmas Wreath quilt, but rather than wavy lines, kept with tram lines, with a star in each corner.
I've trimmed the quilt and it's ready for binding (or will be when I've redone a couple of the corner stars as they are rather close to the edge).Then burying about ten thousand ends (honestly, I'm not kidding here!) and a label, and I'm done!
VERY nice, you're enjoying yourself, aren't you?? {smiling lots}
ReplyDeleteYay!! Oh, it is GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely. I think your border quilting decision was great, specially the way you put stars in the corners.
ReplyDeleteI like your border very much, and think that the stars in the corner add a little whimsy. I'm looking forward to seeing the finish.
ReplyDeleteA masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteThank you, girls!
ReplyDeleteShameless cribbing of ideas - the border quilting from Joanna, and the stars idea was from Sue, who did some tiny weeny pieced stars in the corners of hers.
