This week we were prompted by Wendy, at Pieceful Thoughts, to "show off our curves". Curves in my borders and arranging them in creative play has filled my week. Although challenging; both by getting them done by the deadline and designing to make them fit, this week's prompt has been great fun! So let me introduce my curve appeal result.
I am learning also, that if you do not like sewing on borders, then this round robin is NOT a project for you.
I had to make small 1" spacers in each row because they were just a bit short in length.
I am really happy with the secondary design that is showing in the white inside area between borders. I am wondering how I will pull off the next step in this round robin.
And I sure am hoping I do not run out of fabric before this ends. I have a discard pile that is growing from blocks and leftovers that I did not use. This is an example of how our scraps multiply. Have you found this to be the case in your sewing room also?
Our parade of quilts will be March 25th. Does that include quilting and binding also? If so...as Cary Grant would say, "I'm cooked".
And let me add, I so appreciate your comments. I am trying to keep up corresponding and visiting everyone's postings too. I have been so inspired by your talents!
Happy stitching!
Oh this is just so fun! I'm so glad you enjoyed the prompt (sorry about the link up)!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Wendy. It all works out in the end. The worst that could happen is I would not win anything....as IF I really need anything. Actually, just participating is a win, right? I have learned so much and have stretched my abilities. And so much more to do! You're the best! ♥ I am your faithful follower. (smile)
DeleteOh I love your curves! They remind me of a ribbon. Your quilt looks beautiful and looks like you made it from a pattern. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. It was a fun prompt this week. So glad you like it!
DeleteHi Chris, thanks for your kind comment on Wendys page. Yours look wonderfull. Your curves around are so correct and nicely dome, look very easy like a scarf in the wind… this will be a wonderfull auilt. No I think there is no need to show the quilting and binding done, I think from my experience it has to show the top. My SAHRR 2023 is just brewing to be finished, 2024 is done, 2025 under the hand quilting needel because too big … so, SAHRR keeps us bussy and connected! Wedys Eva :-)
ReplyDeleteA scarf in the wind...I like how you think! And thank you for your assurance that they need not be quilted for the parade. I am trying to develop the habit of getting my quilt tops quilted as they finish so they do not languish in the closet. Well, I am trying. You know how it goes. Maybe I should hire two long arm quilters? Yes, our quilt enthusiasm keeps us busy! Thank you for visiting me and for leaving your kind comments.
DeleteI love your interpretation on the curves and the designs that are appearing! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat! I appreciate your encouragement.
