It has a Scandavian look to me. Just lovely!

As always...your quilts blow me away!
You have such an eye for color & design!!

Thank you all. Don't know what I would do without the feedback and encouragement. Yes, it's my design and it's going to be done today!

Beautiful! Can't wait to see it when it's all done!

Oh my goodness. I love it. You did an awesome job on that.
You are very talented. Would love to see it when it is completed. Have fun. :thumbup:

Awesome love the colors and think it will be great when you finish.....You sending it to me ....right???????lol

Woo Hoo Pam! That came out just like your pattern! Wowee that is nice. Are you going to have it quilted?

Oh my gosh, it is beautiful. What an outstanding job. You are good girl. Can't wait to see what is next in the line of borders.

Oh, Wow! It's really coming along just beautifully!

I cannot imagine the attention to detail that goes into getting that border to fit - perfectly!!!

Pam, that quilt is just too beautiful for words......talk about hard to do....

(you know you really need to start publishing patterns for your quilts and selling them....Yes, they are THAT good! :thumbup: )

It's really not difficult to do a border like that. The difference is that I don't measure the body of the quilt through the middle but on the sides. That can cause it's own problems but fortunately, the sides of the quilt were exactly 60 1/2" as they were supposed to be. I measured out 30 1/4" from each side of the center of the border motif, which I chose to be an inward facing point of the scallop after roughly laying it out to see that the outward circles would be at the ends. I mark the two ends of the borders and line that up with the edges of the quilt. I could have gone from the center of the outward curve and had the corners meet at an inward facing point too.

On the next border that meets one already sewn on, I measure out 30" from the center to subtract the 1/4" taken up by the opposing border.

If it wasn't a square quilt I don't think it would work with most fabric repeats. As long as the center point of the quilt is lined up with the same point in the border repeat on all sides, it should line up at the corners.

But if you haven't planned just the right width for the quilt before you add the border, wouldn't you wind up with something other than that perfect circle at the corner? And yours is perfect.

I didn't plan it at all. I didn't even know the width of the border design or the length of the pattern repeat (I still don't since I didn't measure that). It could have ended up just about anywhere and there might have been an oval like this in the corners. I would have been OK with that too.

Or I could have adjusted what the center point was and ended at something I was pleased with. That's why I sewed two sides on next to each other instead of doing opposite ends first as I normally would. So that I could see what the corner would look like before doing the others.

Well ok, maybe part of it was serendipity, but I'm still impressed.

Awesome, I love your quilt!

That is just beautiful. You always make such great quilts. I love it. Great job. Thanks for sharing with us.

Serendipity, maybe. The saying is, It's better to be lucky than good.

And I was lucky. :-P

Thank you. :-) I have some vague ideas about doing some of that when I "retire" in hopefully just 8 more years.

Wow! Your border is perfect. And your quilt is spectacular. Love the colors. It is the perfect quilt for ME!

How cheerful and can't wait to see the finished piece
