and here it is. I tried something new...adding piping to the quilt as a thin border vs. just the fabric. I'm not really sure it worked well for me and I might take it apart. I haven't pressed it yet, so I'm sure that will help. I found a brick to use as binding and the back will be the exact same fabric as the outer border.

Very Pretty! I love those fabrics! I tried the piping thing on some pillow shams once and wasnt real happy either. I am sure it was just something I was doing wrong because It looks great on yours and others I have seen!

PamH 04-10-2009 10:32 AM

Wow that looks great

mpspeedy 04-10-2009 10:41 AM

It's gorgeous!!

The piping is a definite keeper. It frames the quilt beautifully. You might want to check out Susan Cleveland's site. I think she is the 'queen of piping.

Thanks for the links Mary Ellen...I'm going to go look those up now. I'm anxious to sandwich and start quilting this one.

Dawn Hendrix 04-10-2009 02:13 PM

LIKE the PIPING!!!! Great Work!

You are braver than me.. I would have thought and thought and well then I would have skipped it!

BEAUTIFUL!

Knot Sew 04-10-2009 02:25 PM

Wow you did a great job...piping is special :D love it

TeresaP 04-10-2009 02:31 PM

I love this quilt. It has a real serenity about it, without being boring. The piping definitely sets it off beautifully.

Do you need an address for it's new home?! LOL

Roben 04-10-2009 02:36 PM

That turned out gorgeous, sandpat! The piping does set it off beautifully; if you can't live with it, you could always replace it with a folded border in a similar color. Either way, great job :thumbup:

swimmom 04-10-2009 02:37 PM

Love the piping!

omak 04-10-2009 02:42 PM

A lot of work, beautiful colors, and creative piping!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!

Oh sandpat--that's a wonderful quilt. It has such a country feel to it... wonderful!! I like the piping too--that was a creative addition!!

sandpat 04-10-2009 03:14 PM

Thanks all for the compliments :oops: ...I'm surprized myself how well it turned out...I really like the pattern..maybe I'll make another one sometime. Got to finish up this one first though :lol:

amma 04-10-2009 03:50 PM

It's beautiful Sandpat!!!!

Mousie 04-15-2009 06:06 AM

I'm really not sure why you would take that beauty apart, Patti!
I get the feeling you are a bit of a worry wart like me, about, maybe this would have looked better? It's beautiful now. Makes me think of butter and jam on light, fluffy biscuits...yum! :P

Izy 04-15-2009 08:25 AM

Patti I love this quilt, but can I ask you, won't a brick be uncomfortable to cuddle up to????? lol, only kidding, my brain isn't in gear just lately and after all the building work I just thought brick..hard and rectangle lol!!

I LOVE the piping, and think it really sets the top off :D :D

QuiltinLee 04-15-2009 08:31 AM
