I have the blocks all stitched together now, so am ready to start on the inner and outer border. As stated previously, I'm going to use the green fabric for a thin inner border and the light background fabric for a larger outer border and backing. The green will then be used for the binding as well. I need opinions on the borders. I had initially planned to do a 2" inner green border and a 4" outer border. But when I layed materials next to the blocks to get a visual on it, the inner border of 2" looks too big to me (see pic below). So I tried it with a 1" inner border a 5" outer border and it looks better to me. The binding on either one would be about 1/2". What do y'all think? Which one do you like better, the 2" / 4" combination or the 1" / 5" combination? |

Thanks again for the kind words! :)
And I have finished the quilt top! Yea! :D I decided to split the difference between using a 1" inner border or a 2" one and went with a 1.5" instead. I think it looks just about right. I decided to extend the inner border through the outer border to the quilt edge to continue the trellis theme of the quilt. Also, I used the scraps to create small pinwheel blocks for the corners. Next, on to quilting it! |
Eddie -- turned out really nice!!
How big is it? |
Thanks. It's about 56" x 67".

Eddie! It was 97 here today and your avitar looks so refreshing. Show us when your done. i really like it your daughter will be happy with it.
|
Something delicate, and feminine about that and I love it! My Dad is lame for never making me one. LOL j/k, but it would have been nice.
Very special, Eddie. |
Love your fabric choices!
|
Great Job, Eddie. The borders and pinwheels finish it off nicely. I am the first quilter in my family for generations. If I had a quilt that was made by my parent or grandparent, I would cherish it. I hope that your daughter knows how lucky she is to receive such a gift. My family has been wrapped in my quilts for years. It always makes me smile.
Happy Quilting from TX, Helen |
I love the fabric choices.
Great job!! :) |

[IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...y_Quilt_20.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...y_Quilt_21.jpg[/IMG] The quilt turned out just beautiful. You have a great eye for color and I love how the binding tied in with the squares on the border and how you brought the pink out onto the border. I know you said you used the same floral pink for the back. Just love it! So soft and snuggly looking. Glad your daughter Olivia liked it too. Thanks for posting the final result. The label turned out great too. Did you do this one or did your wife make it for you. |
This is so pretty!! You're daughter will just love it!!
|
Great work Eddie!!!
|
Thank you all! :)
