Lots of firsts in this Topper
 

Not finished yet but I'm working on it! I decided to make a quilt without a pattern which was quite fun! I had never made a piano border before and enjoyed that process! I usually do machine applique but decided to try fussy cutting flowers out of flower fabric and adding leaves. I learned how to use my bias tape maker which has hung in my sewing room for several years! LOL! After I finish doing applique stitching on the flowers and leaves, I'll be ready to make my sandwich. It was fun trying new things! If you have any ideas on how to free motion the hourglass blocks, I'd be most appreciative!

Kool. You did a super job. BrendaK

it's alway great to learn new things. looks good so far

Wow that is just beautiful!!! Not good at free motion quilting, I'm sure others will help with that!

Love the colors and batiks. Great job!

You did a fabulous job!!!
I have a question about your piano key border- I've always wondered how you get them uniform all the way. Do you take the length and divide? I want to do one but have no idea how.
Love your quilt.

You did a great job

Very pretty!

What a pretty quilt! I would start in the center of each block and quilt a petal coming out onto each triangle. No need to be accurate, just loop up into the triangle and back to the center on each one.

Really love it!!!!!! Gives me some ideas

Thanks! It's been a fun quilt to make! I've only made this one piano border but worked my way through it on paper first. I made a drawing and use it for measurements. I also found it easier to put on the cornerstones so that I didn't have to worry about the piano border corners! Does one mitre them or keep the border going straight? We're all different in what we like I guess. Paper and pencil writing in all the measurements made it easy for me. Hope it helps you!

Beautiful quilt top. I like the piano key border, I have made lots of then.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Your piano keys border is so precise! It's a beautiful piece, very well done. Congratulations on tackling something new.

Absolutely gorgeous! Great job!

Lovely quilt! You did a great job. Again, I am always impressed when y'all get all those sashings to line up so perfectly. I've tried and become frustrated too many times. I love your vine border!

Wonderful! I love lots of color. You did a beautiful job.

It looks great!

Nicely done---love everything about it. Hope to see the way you quilt it.
