First paper pieced quilt
2 Attachment(s)
I took a class to learn to paper piece and this is the result. I ended up learning to use an electric seam ripper, I had that many seams to rip, due to not squaring up. That was a lesson. Even if the instructions don’t tell you to...always square up! Which fabric do you think is better for a border? (Bottom picture)

Wow! Nice job on a first time paper pieced quilt (which I've never done). THe ripping--ugh--no fun.
THe green border is definitely better looking to my eye. |
The yellow is way to much for a border- it clashes with everything in the quilt.
For your first paper piece project this really turned out good. No one would ever know you had to take it apart- use that seam ripper. I didn’t know there was such a thing as an electric one- I would be afraid of one I think- afraid I would cut into my quilt. Seems that it worked well for you though. Very nice quilt! |
Lovely top and I like the green fabric on the bottom! The yellow is too bright for the other fabrics in my opinion.
|
vey, very pretty!
|
I like the green.
|
Ok, going with the green. :thumbup:
My fabric isn’t long enough to go the length of the quilt. Is it ok to piece it together to get the right length or should I wait and buy a longer piece of fabric so it can be one solid piece? |
Green looks best.
|
I"m thinking the bottom green too. lovely quilt!!!
|
If you have to piece the green, make it intentional with the black design of the quilt blocks.
