It got me thinking about what I had in my stash that I could whip an emergency quilt with, and I remember the 7,000,000 charm squares I've been hoarding. Yay! A rummage through them for all the florals and a sort into colour values and I came up with this. Finished, it will be a queen size quilt. since taking the pic I've moved a few squares around in the middle.
So, tell me, what am I using as a border? Do I use one fabric, or graduate it through colour values like the squares? I have a bunch of fat q's in a black background, very fine floral that may do it, but ideas are welcome! And lace, is it that kind of quilt? Help me!
It feels good to make a small dent in the charm collection!
I like the idea of graduated border - only in the opposite direction! Dark border at the lights, light one at the darks.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about lace. I think the colours and flowers are ornamental enough. But you'll have to decide yourself, because, as already revealed, we have differing aesthetics. :-)
What a good idea! Thankyou Hana, it's not one I'd thought of at all. I shall experiment!
ReplyDeleteI second Hana, a graduated border running in the opposite direction.
