Looking for the next thing on my list I could get together and get to the longarm, I threw this Rainbow Ribbons quilt together. It is now a flimsy. It's certainly bright. If I can find enough black fabric, I may put 3.5" border around it to make it easier to quilt.
I also needed to get this off of the area it was sitting on my desk. I need the extra room to start the 2025 Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt -- Lupine & Laughter.
Updated post: When I got up to look at my blog feed of the ones I read regularly, I looked at my quilt and realized that the top row is UPSIDE down! Bummer. Well, at this point I had already put a black border around the edge, made a back, AND loaded it onto the longarm frame. Too late... It's staying this way. I'm sure it will still make a nice comfort quilt for someone. Design choice.
This is a blast from the past. This was a guild project. We would make circles and applique them onto a square. Then we could cut them into quarters and sew them back together. I know this was abandoned because the pieces didn't match perfectly. This was a group project that ended up in my take-home bin because I was ambitious back then. LOL. Now it waits to meet a back and be quilted. I already have rainbow binding made that I didn't use on my baskets quilt. Glad I found a place for that.
Perfection is overrated! The top looks great and is so fun! A little black border would look good to separate the center from the binding. You are on such a roll of getting quilts finished, I hope it doesn't get too cold to use your longarm. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThe top looks great and I like that the first row is different--a lovely cheerful piece--Hugs Julierose
ReplyDeleteRainbow Ribbon is a colorful feast for the eyes! I just love it! I really like how the upper ribbon curls in a different direction. I would have never known that you had made a "happy accident". May you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving. Hugs.
