I haven't worked on this in awhile because I couldn't decide on a border though still working on the applique. Most of it's done except for the leaves and one large flower. I need to re-work the top center area as it looks a little odd, something needs to be there.

Luckily I was able to find more fabric in the yellow and the darkest blue, I still have a lot of the white. I'm going to try and do a stacked border on this one. I really dislike doing borders so if I can just do each side once that would be ideal.

The border seems very satisfying to me, Pam, with your center.

(but, it's going to be a lot of work......I think it will be worth it! :thumbup:

Stunning-WOW love your work and your idea to finish it. Do you use EQ for designing?

Beautiful!

Thanks :-) Yes, I use EQ6. Instead of doing blocks like how the software does it for the border I'm going to try doing strips. The squares are 2", the white strip is 1/2", the yellow strip is 2". The hard part will be the diamonds and really not sure how I'm going to do that other than individual flying geese.

Did you paper piece the center medallion?

dglvr 01-08-2010 07:26 PM

Wow you are talented. That is beautifal. :thumbup:

Thank you all. I have the rest of the fabric in the washer so just maybe I can put a dent in getting it finished this weekend.

No, it's not paper pieced. I used the Marti Michell giant dahlia templates. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and is one that I will make again.

Well, you notice I said "settled" on a border. I didn't have any inspiration on that border, I just used one from EQ6. I am having such a hard time on this one.

Last night I started to sew the strips and cut the 2" squares from strips. I cut one sewn section and was playing around with the pieces on my table and they wanted to do this. :P

I sewed one together with the background fabric of the quilt and it tells me that this is The One.
