That outer blue border just drowns out the rest.

Oh, I love it!! Very catching and looks just great. The turquoise keeps my eye moving to notice the other colors and the gold is just perfect. Great job and I can't wait to see it done.

Donna, I'm really liking it! That big border on the single block is now really showcasing both the patterned blocks and the gold squares - beautiful!

Hi Donna,

Thank you for sharing your quilting project. I am learning through your posting as I'm sure you are learning.

I agree with others about the larger blue torguise border and the comments posted. With that said a smaller border may have worked out better. Also with the pattern chosen I would not choose a directional print in the future such as the red stripe. From the pictures the red stripe seems out of place. A striped pattern would possible work better having multiple stripes. I like the middle pattern though as it changes directions in each section of the block. This will definitely be a colorful quilt.

Did you try to audition the fabrics together first. Sometimes it's best to make just one block to see out it looks put together in the block.

Good luck with your project and keep us updated with pictures, of course!

Pam M

I like the colors & the fabrics you chose - quilts are an expression of yourself, not someone else's idea of beauty. Don't worry about the critics; go for what is eye-catching to you & just be pleased that you are making progress. It looks "south-westerny" in the style of Navaho to me.
