Hi all.

What colour binding??

How owe should I quilt this? I don’t want to do a pano

And for show. This baby has over 630 squares. It’s a bit wonky at the bottom because the woode backing isn’t as long as The felt

thanks for looking and commenting

I don't see a photo of the 3rd quilt (perhaps you're still uploading?) . The ones I see are gorgeous, though. For the top quilt, I would repeat the dark blue batik for the binding. For the floral quilt, I can pictures echoing the flowers in their blocks, and concentric squares in the boxes. But you are the queen of quilting; I've seen your work and am always ga-ga over it, so please take my suggestion with a teeny tiny grain of salt.

Beautiful quilts, but #3 didn't come through. Binding on the first...I would go with the dark blue that is at the base of the flowers.

Could you outline quilt the flowers, then small meander quilt in the black. A corner motif would look great in those large light colored areas. Could you start that design in the colored framing. That leaves the light smaller rectangles to quilt with a loose filler stitch. But what do I know...I haven't gotten too far beyond meandering.

Wish I could see the last...as I love quilts with smaller pieces.

I love blues.

Trying again

The first one - binding in one of the shades of dark blue.

The second one - Quilting - no suggestions - as others have seen, your quilting is beautiful.

The third one - rich looking fabrics - what is the question (if any?)

I also agree with those who said the blue on the first one but no suggestions otherwise.
All are gorgeous- you don't do anything less than! :)

Beautiful quilts! 1)Blue binding, 2)No idea on the quilting and #)Is there a pair of pieces that need reversing near the center of the lower section of the quilt? The colors are fantastic and the quilt will be lovely when finished.

What gorgeous quilts! I remember you asking about the BQ -- that turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined! The batik is just stunning with the flowers.

I agree with the dark binding on the first one.

that third quilt is beautiful

No suggestions just a comment, they are all quite beautiful.

I am totally in awe of everything you make. I don't dare make suggestions on how to finish your quilts. That would be like me suggesting to Michelangelo how to finish the frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. :D I love, love, love your work.

There was no question! Just for show! Thanks!

they are wonky at the bottom because the wood backing stops abot 10-12 inches above my felt and my lines don't line up anymore! I have the printed pattern to make sure I do it right!

For the second quilt, (gorgeous !!), I would look at Judi Madsens quilts...she quilts with a strong geometric type of quilting that I think would fit your quilt...not any specific design in mind, just the overall feel of her quilting style would be great on that quilt.

You are a very talented quilter! I have a feeling you will come up with the perfect design for the quilts. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous quilts.

All are beautiful, I really love the 3rd and those colors too.

great quilts! I'm going to be contrary to what others have said and say use the same binding as the background fabric in #1--the applique is wonderful and really needs to be the focus. On #2, I'd probably outline the floral motifs in the corner blocks, SID the colored sashing, and use more dense quilting in the backgrounds--either geometric or a floral repeat. #3--lots of blocks! when you quilt I'd probably go for just and E2E as piecing is the star.

I also agree with quiltingshortimer to do the binding the same as the background in the first quilt, so as not to take away from the beautiful center of the quilt.

Beautiful quilts Marion! I always love seeing your projects. You have such beautiful colors and creativity in them.

On the first quilt, “I” would bind it in the background fabric. The dark fabric (I think) will detract from the center of the piece by bringing the eye to the outer edges. You want the center motif to stand out. By using the background the center motif will be the focal piece.

I must add Marian, this quilt is beautiful. you have come a long long way in a very short time. I hope you do well in the competitive show you plan to enter this in.

pretty three, I know in my heart the third will be a pretty one too! thanks for sharing!

For the second - why not add a facing instead of a binding?

Oh Man. Your quilts are gorgeous! You are so good at this. Your colors are wonderful. I would not put a binding on the rose quilt. I think the facing idea is great. It is too beautiful to add something to the edge to take my eyes off the quilt.

Don't have any suggestions, but they are all just beautiful!!!

All are just lovely! I'd use the darkest color in the quilt for each of them. It will frame them nicely.

Your quilts are awesome! #1 I would bind it with the dark from the center and add a flange with a lighter color. The BQ quilt … I would try a large paisley in the open space on each block … other one I don't know ...

They are all absolutely wonderful! The second one is such a gorgeous way to showcase the focus florals!

Beautiful Quilts, make them the focus, not the binding. I'd go with a very thin neutral color binding personally. I want my quilt blocks/pattern to be the main event. I use 2"wide strips that sew down to about 3/8" after sewing. Barely noticeable, which is my intent.

Beautiful quilts, thanks for sharing

Gorgeous quilts, Marion!

I would bind the first one with either the dark green leaf fabric or the fabric in the pointy/loopy Celtic frame around the center motif. I think more of the blue would be too much blue.

I did a BQ quilt such as yours (different flowers) and I outlined the flowers. In the large white spaces I did close straight lines, and left the frames unquilted. That worked well for my skill set.

Thanks all for the suggestions! I will spend the week figuring it out!

As for quilt # 3 ... turns out I was actually missing a row hahahahaha ... thankfully I had the pattern in front of me and was triple-checking my squares before I actually sewed them together!
