I have a pile of border and striped fabrics in my stash and I do enjoy using them in the borders of quilts. Haven't purchased any for quite some time though.

Good idea, Mary - Elle also suggested lace over the background fabric, also a good idea.

How far along are you with your blocks? And may we please see a pic?

This is a beautiful quilt-not sure I am at that skill level yet though!

I will have to check into this as I am interested in trying this quilt. I need to get better at applique. And sticking to a schedule!

thanks for adding that info-I think I might want to try this pattern with you all in May :)

It will be awhile until we get started up as a group since we would all like to finish our Jane Stickle quilts..scheduled to finish in May 2011. So we'll start this quilt after that..plenty of time between now and then to think about it, plan and gather your fabrics.

You would be surprised at how you improve, Shem - just as the DJers did. Lots of fear and trepidation to start with, now they are all pros, and PPing/Appliqueing doesn't seem to hold any terrors.

The same thing would happen with the AOTH quilt. I'll have to have a look to see if some of the blocks seem to be easier than others, and perhaps we can start with those first.

Here are pictures of my blocks. I have 8 done. I don't work on it often but I have fun when I do. These are cell phone pictures so the colors didn't show up as bright as they really are. I am doing the applique by machine and then satin stitching around each piece. then I use my built in stitches on my machine to accent them. I love to machine embroidery.

Lesley, go to ebay and search for "Border Fabric". Then chose "Sewing & Fabric" from the drop-down menu on the left, the chose "Quilting". There are hundreds of different fabrics shown. And if they won't ship to you, just have it sent to me and I'll forward on.

Also search for Stripe Fabric and Stripes Fabric. There are tons.
