Well, no wonder you got a blue ribbon.....your quilt is beautiful! Love how you brought those intricate borders into the piece, they go really well with the delicate paper piecing pattern. Congratulations!!

Congratulations on a beautiful quilt and a well deserved blue ribbon!

Thank you everyone for your nice comments! Centering the border and mitering was the most challenging part but this was also my first attempt at paper piecing too! Lots of firsts!

You fuse 2 layers of fabric back to back, cut the diamonds with the ruler, fold back the points so the bottom fabric shows, and place the whole thing on a 3rd piece of fabric. So then I treated the 3 layers as one and attached it like any other mitered border.

The pattern is Feathered Snowflake by RaggedyRuth Designs.

The ribbon is well deserved!

It's so beautiful. Dainty and refreshing to look at this summer. I don't know what technique you used for the border but it is unusual and pretty. I can see why you won! Thanks for sharing.

Lovely. The border is perfect with the star and the blue is so cool. Congratulations on the ribbon.

You should do a tutorial to teach us how to use the ruler. I'd love to learn.
peace

Really stunning! You did a great job joining the sections of paper pieced parts-I think thats hard to do really well. The border is genius. Such a pretty frame for a pretty star. Congratulations!

That's Awesome! How do you make the border? If I ever join another round robin, I would like to use this as a border possibility.

maryellen2u 07-16-2014 01:10 PM

Oooo! That is beautiful. How did you do that border design? Yes, you deserved to win!

AnnEliz 07-16-2014 01:16 PM

This quilt is gorgeous. I never saw that pattern before. If I were a judge, I'd have given it the biggest blue ribbon there. Keep up the good work, and please share the pattern. I love it.
