Pinwheel Border on, sandwiched and ready to quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
I thought you might like to see how the pinwheel borders look on the baby quilt that I'm making for my great niece that is due to make her first appearance in this world very soon. I have the quilt sandwiched and in the hoop with stitching underway. Hope the baby doesn't come until its finished. Doc says it could be any day and not the August due date he first gave. I sure wish my brother could have lived long enough to see this little gal before he died. How does it look now that it has all four sides of the border on? I plan to bind it in Hot Pink.

Ditto!

So sorry your brother didn't live to see his great grandchild. She will know him through the love that is passed down through the family, by acts of kindness like this quilt from you.

I really enjoy working with picture panels. Your pieced border beats my strips any day! Was it hard to figure the size of the blocks?

Krystyna 07-19-2012 03:23 AM

The pinwheel boarder is perfect! It brings out the colors in the panels without overwhelming and provides a sense of movement that matches the theme perfectly. Well done!

Very sweet, love the unusual group of animals on the carousel. I pray it will be a great comfort to all and I know this baby will bring such love into the family and fill all your hearts with joy. I'm sorry for all of your losses, what a blessing it would have been for your brother to see this precious baby.
