Well, I have still been working on the wedding quilt, but or course, life has been happening, which means that there are days the I haven't been able to even touch it! But, here is what I have done so far!

Block 2 and block 4 apparently are the only two that will have the fabric in the center. This fabric is the main border fabric.I used the border fabric to pull the others from, but after seeing it in the two blocks and knowing that is the only place it will be, I am beginning to wonder if it was the right decision or not.

Please let me know what you think!

Gorgeous choice of fabrics! Love them and they all go together. Lovely thing about batiks is the range of colours you can use with each fabric. Well done with your fabric selection cos its looking really good. Can't wait to see your finished quilt! Best wishes! :thumbup:

love the colors! And she can't say those aren't her colors like my son's wife did! I was informed after I had made their wedding quilt that she didn't like the color blue! Oh well, your loss, my gain!

Your block are gorgeous and the fabric is yummy. IMHO I believe you have made wonderful choices.
Almost makes me want to get married again so someone will make me a lovely quilt. JK!!!

You did an outstanding job of fabric selection and in piecing the blocks. It will be a wonderful quilt when finished. Love all your colors and it is a lucky couple who will receive the quilt.

However, it doesn't appear that anyone has addressed your question re. your proposed border fabric. The border selection was an obvious success if it led you to all the batiks you've used in the quilt. With that said, it doesn't always work out to be the perfect border. I suggest that you lay the blocks out like they will be in the quilt and then lay the potential border fabric next to it to see how it will look. If you then want other opinions, take a picture and post that picture with your question.

If it doesn't work out to be the perfect border, you can always use it in the backing or save it for another quilt. Can't wait to see your finished quilt.

I love the blocks so far.. I think I understand about the 2 blocks and that light color being the border... the rest of the blocks might overpower that light batik on the outside.
Can you either sprinkle more of the light color throughout the quilt or re-do those 2 blocks? the rest of the blocks are quite complementary in value.. only that one print seems a little light.

biscuitqueen 02-20-2011 03:43 PM

I really like your fabrics in the blocks, great job.

colleen53 02-20-2011 03:47 PM

that would look splendid in my bedroom.. can't wait to see the finished product.

susie0808 02-20-2011 05:36 PM
