I am just finishing my first crazy quilt. All done on the machine. connecting my squares with black sashing. This quilt will be a mothers day gift for my dear sweet daughter in law. Want to have a "different and unique" border was thinking of like a black ruffel with heavy white lace on top.... Would really appreciate any and all thoughts

You've done a great job and I like your border idea, as well. Post a pic when it's done :-)

Too funny ... before I got finished reading it, I was thinking of a lace edge on it. Then I saw you were thinking of black ruffle and white lace!

Meant to be? :)



The fabric looks very shiny, is it more than cotton? If so, what about something black and silk like? Or being that you've used a lot of reds/pinks, perhaps the dark cranberry/burgundy that is in the quilt?

What is your backing .. that might help determine the edging.

Looking good!

That is so cute!! You get 1st prize!! Another Blue Ribbon Winner!! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful quilt. It sounds like your border idea will be smashing.

I love the squares...very unique to you....and I also like the idea of a different kind of edge finish, but not sure about the black...maybe one of the more dominant colors in the squares?

It's beautiful!!!

Glad to see you are using sashing! I made one similar and didn't use any sashing. Not it's just one blob of scrap fabrics. At least it's warm!

I love the ruffle and lace. That will be so unique, your DIL is really lucky to have you for her MIL. Blessings

I like the all together look of it. I'm new to quilting, so I haven't done anything like this. It will be nice when it's done.

i like it...such wonderful color!

That's super beautiful!!!!!!!!!! :D:D

You did a wonderful job. I worked on a crazy quilt for a Senior Citizen raffle; added black sashing and black border. It was stunning. I'm sure yours will be great with the black border & white lace.

Looks great - please post when you are done, the border sounds lovely.
