Christine: Your colors turned out great, no that's not a mistake, its a design innovation.
|
Christine, even tho your colors got switched, I like the result very much! I am loading my block images into EQ7 now to start playing with the borders. I will let you know what I decide. You are making ANOTHER One? You are more ambitious than me! lolol
|
Christine....your colors works so well together and your quilt is stunning!
|
Great progress, everyone. Thanks for sharing.

here is my color scheme. just have to do the pin wheels, then I can start putting all the blocks together. everything is out of the scrap binsssssss.

Looking forward to seeing the whole top. I was wondering if anyone would go scrappy, which is my favorite.

I am on the home stretch. The tri-rec border was finished this morning and the top finished at 63" x 72". I really had a problem with this first border so the first white border had to be adjusted to finish at 3/4". So, I am digging through the stash for the fabrics to make two more borders and possibly a third to make this quilt queen sized. This one is definitely a scrappy.

That is beautiful. I downloaded the photo and zoomed in on it, it worked out great. I think the variety of shades and tones adds a little something, I really like the look of your 4-patches. The border looks great.

Top is finished. With the final 9" border it measures 90"x100". It still needs a lot of pressing and grooming then it will go into the pile to be quilted.

I give all of you who are doing or have done this Celtic solstice quilt!! I personally love scrappy quilts but the kind that are a little more " free"! The controlled scrappy that this is made of, I think, would drive me berserk.......too much sorting, deciding, whatever.....
If I am going to do something that intense I need all the parts to be the identical fabric... So gold stars to all of you! |
Caroline...what a great finish. It's beautiful.
SewNso...looking forward to seeing yours. |
Caroline: Such pretty colors, so amazing how it turned into an autumn quilt.

good thing the saying 'cut a few, assemble a few', then 'cut a few, assemble a few later' kept running thru my mind. I started assembling a few, and realized I had sewn my 'chevrons with the yellows touching' on the last bunch I sewed together. NOOOO, the whites are suppose to touch!!!!!! easy rip out.

Caroline, your scrappy CS turned out wonderful. I have only made two blocks for mine but for now it is on the back burner. I have saved as many of the pictures of everyone's as I can though so when I do start mine, I will have some comparisons to look at for border ideas and if and when I get discouraged. Kudos to all of you who have finished yours. I will join your group in a year or two! LOL!
