I may be cuddled under MY quilt in a week or so (sew?). Have 2 border design that I like. The setting blocks from the same fabric are simple X-hatching so I chalked it out on some border and quite like it, especially as I've used "line-patterns" quite a bit on the blocks.

I also have a very different double-oval pattern that I like and would break away from all the lines.

Keeping in mind that it will be stitched with invisible thread which does anyone think? I think I know, but would be interested in other opinions.

I like the ovals, but I really don'/t know that much about choosing the right style for different patterns. I just like the curves. LOL

I think the ovals would give some nice contrast....cool quilt!! :thumbup:

I think it'll be great. Why invisible thread though?

LOL - which would be great? Invisible because as a beginner I wasn't sure I'd want the stitching to show. I regret not choosing the basic taupe now. LOL. But I'm not about to unpick it all and redo!

I meant the ovals:>

I like the cross hatch, and the oval is really nice too :D:D:D

I am without opinion on your quilting, BUT I sure do like all those fabrics in the picture, both individually and together.

Above is a link for the whole fabric collection. I love it, too. Just right for my wallpapered bedroom with its big brass bed! My avatar block is one that is used in the quilt.

Looks like a great site. Thanks a bunch! BTW what is your floral print called?

Kitsie 05-27-2010 11:01 AM

Sorry, I don't know, Jerrie. They are all from the Sachet Potpourri collection. The quilt was a kit and the fabrics were supplied. The dark florals are actually chocolate brown which is different and very attractive.

I did a post called "Kitsie's Avatar block" - http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-41613-1.htm that has more pictures.
