I think that leaves me with Roberts poodles and sewnmom's purple/green... have to go fabric shopping tonight -- need pink!

It seems I have joined the lantern craze. I was making lanterns for Dotty and Robert but as I am a beginner I like to try out a new pattern first so I know what I am doing. I made the first one and then wondered what I would do with it, so I made another 2 and made them into a wall hanging. What colour do you think I should bind them in?
Oh and Dotty and Robert, your blocks are done and on their way!

Thank you Lv2sew2011 these blocks helped get me back in the groove after taking most of the summer off. There are alot of amazing quilters in this swap from what I can tell!

Well there ya go. You havebeen indoctrinated into the lantern hall of fame.
I think pick up the primary color in the middle lantern, rust, peach, something like that color value and then on the very outside I wouldbn in black.
Thats my take.

What a beaut! Love the blue & yellow!

Immemother your doing an awesome job for being a beginner! Love the wall hanging. As far as borders how about a very dark strip border then maybe a sawtooth using the dominant fabric used in the lanterns then bind in the same dark fab as the first strip border?

The prettiest border I ever saw with a lantern pattern, was a fan pattern. Kept the oriental feel going....really pretty.

I love that we have had that discussion before somedays I feel very old especially chasing the 2 1/2 year old in the picture.

By the way blocks for Robert and Fromzstore going out tomorrow sorry they took so long. Also luv2sew.
