Help Blades for quilt edging?
 

Should have taken a pic when I had the chance. Saw a really cute edging, instead of scallops or prairie points it was free hanging blades. Does anyone have a picture to share? I'd like to add it to this quilt top. I've already added HST border in dark, I want to alternate the yellow and dark blades around the edge, hanging off about 3 inches staggering them like a wave.[ATTACH=CONFIG]557187[/ATTACH]Thanks for not laughing and your suggestions are most welcome. I have really loved working with this Laurel Burch fabric. It the finest quility I have ever had to sew. A great Craigs list buy.

ps also my very first original to me design!!!

Never have seen or heard of this before. Sorry. Very pretty quilt using Burch's fabric.

What are free hanging blades? Your quilt is awesome!

I don't know, but I really like your quilt. Looks so hard to make. But I love it and the colors etc.

the ones I saw were like shoe horns two pieces sewen and turned raw edge at the bottom I don't have my phone so I can't share a pic right now sorry

thanks the fabric did all the work

Not sure I'm understanding what you're describing, but a piano key border popped in my brain, with the keys being different lengths. But then I also thought of doing it like with turned rectangles of different lengths, then added to the quilt kindof like you'd add prairie points. IDK, but it sounds intriguing. Love you're quilt. It's very cheerful ;0).

Oh, okay. So they are free hanging and dangle. Sounds cool. That would totally go with the cat theme on the quilt. Would they go on all sides of the quilt or just one side? Cat toys for the fur babies, how very original! Kudos. Post pictures when you finish. I can'T wait to see your awesome results.

Trying to figure out what shape blades are. Knife blades? Saw blades? Can you sort of sketch a picture?

Is this what you are talking about?

OK, I saw one once, for some reason I remember her calling it a 'tongue' quilt. I googled it, but came up empty so maybe I am not remembering the name correctly. Your referring to a shoe horn shape sounds right. They were about 3" long, and about 2" wide and curved on the end. 2 pieces of fabric, then turned, seems to me, no batting, attached to the edge of the quilt, then a narrow facing applied to the back. I'd just make a few and come up with a pleasing size & go for it. Don't remember how she handled the corners...

Sorry I can't help with your question about the edging, but I wanted to tell you that I really love your quilt and how you set your Laurel Burch fabric blocks. It's so clever. Thanks for sharing. I hope you find an answer to your question.

Never saw prairie points referred to as "jagged edge".....

Those aren't really prairie points because they are produced differently, but they end up looking like prairie points in shape. The different colored fabrics would make them look different than prairie points.
