This is the week of my daughter's wedding and out of town guests started to arrive yesterday. I thought I'd pop on quick and see what y'all have been up to since I have been out of touch for the past couple weeks. It may be my last chance until next Tuesday when everyone is gone.

Tisha I love this pattern and you have done a beautiful job!

Here is a link I found to purchase the pattern-

It looks like a couple of their other patterns use the same technique. As soon as things settle down around here I will catch up with everyone :-)

Well I better dash, my DS has already called my DN and company are ready to go sight seeing. Then we will have to run back to the airport to pick up the half of the family coming in today.

Hi Swannie! Wondered where you'd got to! Hope it all goes well! See you back soon. Be sure to show us pics of the big day! Will you be wearing a big hat? LOL

i think another border would be great!

i found a lady who made this quilt and did the folding technique in the last border.

here's the link - since you know the technique you might be able to figure out how she did it.

plus you can look at how she quilted it for ideas.

Great link Klue - thanks! I was looking at the Jacob's Snails on that page - I wanted to do a snail trail but didn't have enough of the fabric I wanted to use - but if I do this, I can introduce a third fabric and it should work! Plus I prefer it! Thanks a lot for the link!

Sorry Tisha to go off on a tangent on your thread - I also love the folded border I was SUPPOSED to be looking at! LOL It would really set the star off a treat!

Looks beautiful Tisha!! Everyone has great ideas for embelishments!

You did a beautiful job on that quilt, love the colors. I am sure you can find a r/w/b verigated thread if you wanted to go that route or a nice neutral beige verigated would be pretty too.
