my first scalloped edge quilt--maybe my last!
Hope these pictures post ok. the quilt was an impulse fabric buy--loved the black paisley. Wanted to have a simple block for a retreat and decided I'd use a wide scalloped border with the paisley. It was my first, and maybe last, scalloped edge! Yikes--it took a lot of thinking and manipulating to get it bound! A week from today it will go in a silent auction raising funds for my DD's best friend's family--their 2 1/2yr baby has suffered massive seizures that have resulted in brain damage--hopefully not permanent.

I hope there is a bidder wise enough to realize the quilt is not just stunning, but unique! Not many would combine such a striking more modern fabric with such a traditional border and edge finish, a bold and very successful design choice. Hope it brings a financial blessing to the family, but you making it to help them is the real blessing and I'm sure that is a great comfort to them.
