I have a personal goal to make 12 quilt tops in 2009. I only have a month left and 3 of them are not totally complete. One needs two border sides done, another needs the applique finished and then borders, another has two rounds of borders to do. I have a mental block about doing borders that I find it very difficult to get past!!
I'm going to try my best to get them done before the end of the year. I have lots of things I want to try in 2010 and would like these to be all behind me and get them quilted by an LAQ. |
WOW!!!! Those are amazing!

Pam, those are amazing!!!! Not only have you almost met your goal but you did it with patterns that are not the easiest. I am so impressed and inspired. My goal is to do at least 12 quilts this coming year and I hope mine turn out at least half as good as yours. Kudos! (And how do I get on your Christmas list?)
If you are interested in learning more about borders, I highly recommend Marsha McCloskey's book "Pieced Borders: The Complete Resource" and Sally Collin's book "Borders, Bindings, & Edges." I can't begin to tell you how much those books have changed the way I do my borders. My borders used to be boring and were something I just couldn't seem to wrap my mind around until my friend loaned me those 2 books. I'll post the link to their websites, in case you are interested.

Thanks :D I would be very happy to get over my border phobia!

Wow...those are amazing. I have made that same goal for 2010 but my tops will be no where near that intricate. You do wonderful work! You should be proud.

What beautiful quilt tops. I feel the same way about borders, all that math if you want to do something different and stunning! I really struggle with math, it almost kept me out of quilting!
That is great way to get those tops done. I need to set a goal like that too! Thanks for posting, would love to see them more closely...PLEASE |
Those are all just beautiful, the round blue one is gorgeous.
