controlled scrappy
 
1 Attachment(s)
Usually I like the totally scrappy look, but I was given a box of 3" squares by a lady who had a stroke and was unable to quilt anymore. Since in some cases ther were a couple hundred of some of the pattern, I made a 12-patch and it will be donated to the charity I sew for. Thanks for looking.

P.S. Just noticed I made the bottom border wrong, the light colors were supposed to fall on opposite the lights on the quilt top. Need to change that or it will drive me nuts. LOL that's the OCD kicking in.

It is very lovely and of course, you sewed the border creatively :)

great job!!!!!

NanaCindyLou 04-20-2013 05:02 AM

pretty! I never would have noticed the border unless you pointed it out. If anything, I would have thought that you were just contrasting it with the top border....

Beautiful work!!!

That was a nice way to use up the 3" sqaures given to you and the colors went together nicely. I, too, love what you did with the border. Great job!

RGAY 04-21-2013 04:01 AM

Wow - this is very easy on the eyes!!! Lovely.

QM 04-21-2013 04:17 AM

that went together very well. I understand OCD, but IMHO, having the variation on the borders is good.

It's very pretty. Do you have any suggestions on not being so OCD on quilts, I'm still trying to master that, but I am getting better.

IBQUILTIN 04-21-2013 11:13 AM

Very nice use for your friend's fabrics and a pretty quilt!

Andrea 04-22-2013 05:50 PM

I've done many piano key borders, but it never occurred to me to do them as you've done here. I LIKE it!

quilt-n-girl 04-22-2013 06:04 PM

I think it is your quilt is lovely just like is, I wouldn't change any thing. No one will know you didn't mean to make it like it is but you, it gives the quilt character.

Cookie46 04-22-2013 06:18 PM

Very pretty quilt!
