Finally finished with quilt #3. I will try to post my first two quilts later today.
Thanks everyone for the binding advice. I finally took a hodgepodge of everyones ideas and finished it up. I couldn't catch anyone to hold it up for me so I threw it on my King bed for the pic. It's a twin, that's why it doesn't hang over the edge ;) |
Love the quilt and the borders really look good. A job well done:)
|
I love those gentle shades of grey! Beautiful!
|
LOVE that one. Don't think I've seen grey and navy before!
|
lol Actually I thought they were all shades of blue. But they do read Gray in these pics.
|
I really like it, especially the tiny little border strip which seems to set off the bigger border. Great job!
|
I am teaching myself to quilt (with your help). I have learned something (at least one thing) new with each quilt. My lesson learned on this one was "square ALL your blocks" even the tiny 3 1/2 " ones. I didn't square them, so when I got the the 9 1/2" blocks I had to trim them to 9 1/4 to make them work, then my points didn't line up well. *sigh*
|
Beautiful work, colors worked out good

My most favorite color - blue! My kitchen is blue and grey and this quilt would be a perfect complement for it! :lol:
|
It looks great! I love your color combination!
Nice job! |
That turned out really great. The borders are a perfect addition.

You've done a really great job ... love your very thin light first border. And is that a piping insert with the binding? Could you please show me a close up at a corner, perhaps? I'm thinking of using it in my OBW and would appreciate a look-see! Thanks!! |

I make them a little larger and then trim. It's much easier to trim a 3" HST nice and square than a 2-1/2" wonky HST ... almost impossible! :thumbup: |
Excellent quilt! Serene colors! LOVE grey and blue (or anything)! Narrow borders are perfect. Don't judge yourself so harshly. I'd love it.
|
That is so pretty. You did a great job on all those triangles. I love the colors. That border fabric is beautiful. Great job and thanks for sharing.
|
Love it!

Kat |

|

|
i like those calm colors--not too bright--in fact, it says i'm here to keep you warm!! nice job & thanks for sharing!

the dark blue strip is 1 3/4 wide, the light strip is 1 1/2 wide. sew enough strips together to go around the quilt. Press and fold in half leaving a tiny bit of dark showing on the light side. Place the light side face down on the back of the quilt and sew around. then flip to the front side and SITD holding corners so they match up in a neat 45 |
quite lovely. good job.
|
I love your quilt!
|
Love the shading in this. Its beautiful.
|
Very nice quilt. Soothing colors and wonderfully balanced!
|
That's a beauty!!!!!!!!!! :D
|
It is a gorgeous quilt
|
great color selection
|
Perfect! Its amazing how brainstorming helps. That's how I see this board; everybody in a room throwing out ideas. Then we all have wonderful quilts!
|
Gorgeous! and thanks for the information about the border, I was wondering about it too.
|
Great job!
|
I also make my HST 3" and trim. Makes more sense to me. Love the quilt.
|
Great looking quilt!
|
Beautiful shades in your quilt. Love it.
|
Your borders and binding is perfect for this quilt. The tiny bits of lighter and darker colors just finish it off just right. Terrific job.
|
The grey and navy are a very interesting combination and I really love the softness of it. Perfect for the pattern you chose. Borders fit it just right. Great quilt! :-)
|
Great quilt! You've done a nice job, and the little extra flange thing is neat too~
