My quilt "Parrots, Toucans, Macaws Oh My!" is on page 9 of "Freehand fmq feathers - great method" The original fabric is on the border. I made it to be a wallhanging and it can be hung either horizontally or vertically. I sewed the borders on, so when hung either direction, the top and bottom borders are right side up when you look at it. It was a fun print to work with and so very colorful. My son owns it now and it hangs on the wall above his computers.

I bought fabric to do another one the RIGHT way. lol now I need to figure out how big to cut it.

Done, done, done.
Not overly thrilled with the outcome, but I really wanted to get it done and in the mail to my dad.
Used cheap fabric for the backing ~ never again. Lesson learned, just one of a zillion I learned doing this.
Thanks again, Cutie, for all your help!!!

Wondering about borders now. I kind of like the look of it on the off-white sofa, so perhaps some off-white? And a dark brown binding? or something else entirely? I'd love any suggestions from you folks, this is such a great creative cauldron!
I don't need it be much larger than it is now, but am perfectly willing to play if I love an idea that requires wide border(s). I have no specific plans for this quilt, it might go on my sofa, bed, or just be following me around the house... :roll: :lol: :D
