I finished the quilt top. I love the pattern but after making this big size quilt with so many small pieces I think I'm going to be making big block quilts for a long time. It was tedious to press all those seams. I will layer it tomorrow and do simple fmq, enough to put binding on. I will do more quilting after the guild challenge display at a local quilt show.

I started with a narrow cheddar border around it but took it out. I just didn't like the look of double borders.

Great Job ! Congrats on continuing with all the small pieces :)

Wow. That turned out beautiful. I like it better without the cheddar border, too.

That quilt is gorgeous! I understand about the tedious small blocks but big blocks have drawbacks too. Can't hide quilting mistakes in the big blocks so much, lol.

I really like your color choices. It's a great quilt.

beautiful quilt. so complicated and turned out so well.

Normally I would like the inner border, but in this case I think you're right to take it out. The overall effect of the blue border is to make the center seem to float. It's very beautiful.

Your quilt is beautiful. I kinda liked the cheddar border. But, it looks great without it too. It might have been too much after awhile.
