Just finished sewing this together this morning!!
I texted my daughter last night (who the quilt is for) and told her I only had two seams to do. Then I remembered about the row of black-on-black batik 4-patch that I was going to put ALL around the outside. Darn!!! I don't know if I want to do anymore! The pattern is called Faceted Jewels though I didn't use a pattern. Saw one on an Amish quilt site and figured it up from that. |
That is beautiful. If it is the size you wanted then I think it could be finished although I am sure the border you had in mind would look wonderful.
|
My daughter has a full size bed, which is 54"x75". The quilt right now is 68"x89". If I add the other rows it will be 76"x97".
|
Just a beautiful quilt!
|
What a beautiful quilt!! You are good to do that without the pattern!! I think it needs the borders to make it large enough. :thumbup: :D :thumbup:
|
This is one beautiful quilt!!!!!
|
This is a beautiful quilt. It will look great with or without a pieced border.
|
I would leave it as it is.
It's beautiful! Add black as the binding. |
Very beautiful quilt top and with no pattern! Such talent you have! I agree that if it is size you need the border you had planned would look great, but a simple dark border would work too! Just gorgeous!
|
Yes, I think I will leave it and use the jelly roll strips of the black for the binding instead. I think, but would have to figure it up again to be sure, that I don't have quite enough of the black to do all of the 4-patch blocks out of the strips.

Well, I did re-create the design in EQ7. :) It's mainly just squares and HSTs.
|
Looks awesome! What about a black batik border, then maybe a flanged binding adding in one of the other colors?
|
What a marvelous job you did!! It is a stunning quilt. Will be wonderful regardless of what you do or don't do for borders. you daughter is very lucky.
|
WOW it is beautiful. I love it.
|
Wow you figured that out from a picture. GREAT JOB. It turned out BEAUTIFULL.
|
I've also thought about using long strips for the border. I'll have to see what I have. Maybe I'd have enough to do one row of strips and then use the rest for the binding.
|
Awesome :thumbup:
|
Beautiful! I love the 'fake' curves.....
|
It turned out absolutely gorgeous Pam!!!
|
Wow - what a wonderful quilt.
|
AWESOME!!!
|
Don't stop now. It is gorgeous. Put the border on.

It will be gorgeous either way. I love it as it is now, but think borders would be beautiful too! I think it would be hard to go wrong at this point!
|
Stunning! I have just drooled all over the keyboard and rethought my next wish list!
|
I've also decided to quilt it in a Baptist Fan pattern. I got a set of longarm circle templates and watched a video on youtube about it.
Such tiny pieces and I'm not that good at longarm so an allover pattern is good for me. It will echo the circles in the design. |
WoW!! I love that pattern and I want to do one one of these days but I guarantee that I will have to use a pattern!! Yours is a beauty....love the color combo you used. I don't think you need another border. Since you already have pieced border there why don't you just add a plain border or two. Maybe a narrow lighter one and then your pretty black batik.
|
I think you are done. I think the design is enough on its own. It is a beautiful quilt.
|
beautiful quilt!
|
Your quilt is stupendous,gorgeous,absolutely beautiful.
|
Stunning, just stunning. I love those colors and the pattern is to die for! Do you perhaps need another daughter? I'm available!

I have watched as you began this quilt. I thought it was beautiful from the beginning. I absolutely love the colors. I know your daughter will love it.
|
It turned out great. I just love it. Now i really want one of these for me.
|
It's beautiful!!!
|
Well, I don't know if you need a 9block as a border, but I think a border is really going to set this and finish this off nicely. My fear is that you would regret NOT doing it.
|
btw, i *LOVE* your color choices throughout
|
It looks great the way it is. But do you need the extra rows to make the size right?
