Found UFO
2 Attachment(s)
When I downsized over 14 years ago stored this quilt top and just now found it.
When I pieced this top I used the revere of some of the fabrics....not a wise idea so I need to fix that and decide on a border. Don't recall the name of this quilt pattern. |
It's lovely! Since they are batiks, I wouldn't change a thing.:thumbup:
|
Beautiful and very dimensional looking.
|
I wouldn't change a thing either! It's beautiful and you must be thrilled that you found it.
|

You're right tessagin it does look like beveled glass and the batiks just brings it out even more. Love the pattern, seems like alot of x'd cut squares which were stripped sewn. Beautiful, can't wait to see it's final appearance
|

Hey, can you find the package of buttons in the blue box that I lost? |
You paid for both sides of that fabric. Let it alone, it's lovely as it is.
|
It is lovely. It couldn't be more perfect. 14 years is a long time to be separated.
peace |
Quite lovely!
|
I would finish it the way it is. Love the 3-D look!
|
Totally agree, it's great the way it is!
|
Gorgeously done!
|
I would not change anything
|
I don't see anything that needs changing. Beautiful quilt.
|
Love it ! What everyone else said.
|
It does look great and I wouldn't change a thing either. I recognized this immediately - it's called Boullibaise??? I made one a couple of years ago and just a word of warning - mine started falling apart!!! Yes, it has been used as a bedspread and washed a couple of times, but dang, I couldn't believe how it started coming apart. Now it is in the "to be repaired pile". I have a friend who had the same thing happen, so just a word of warning - treat it very gingerly. but it is lovely!!!

Very pretty !
|
I think it is an absolutely beautiful quilt. Maybe a narrow 2" or so border, then a 4-6" border in black or brown, something to frame that beautiful quilt. I think it's fun when you discover a UFO that you had forgotten about and realize just how much you have improved over the years.
|
Very nice!
|
I love it. Why would you change it? I use the reverse of fabric all the time. Several years ago for our guilds officers challenge we were given some ugly fabric to use. We had to use the whole piece. The reverse side was really interseting so I used mostly the back side. WOn first place.

OK, I'm not alone I often much prefer the reverse side of fabrics or both. 60 percent of the fabrics on this quilt are not batiks and about 5 to 8% are used on the reverse to capture color balance in my view. Thank you all or your encouraging comments...sure will save some time to leave it as is. |
really nice top
|
Agree, it is beautiful just the way it is. And it shows how our tastes change over the years, as well.
|
When they are batiks both sides are the right sides..it's beautiful!
|
Bouilabase s the name sorry about the spelling. It's Gorgeous.
