Getting excited! :) I got the first border with a 1/4" flange sewn onto this quilt today. Need to starch, iron and cut the final border strips. Going to make them 3" wide, the first border has 1" showing of the black and then the flange.

I plan on quilting it in a baptist fan, have a new set of circles for the longarm. Don't know what I'm going to do on the border yet since I can't do the fans out to the edge or it would be sewing the flange down.

Looks like it's going to be a beauty! I love the fabrics.

Cant wait to see the whole quilt, looks wonderful

I can't wait to see the entire quilt top. I love the colors and that little snippet of a picture is pretty enticing.

That sneak peek is gorgeous ... can't wait to see the finished quilt

Very pretty :D:D:D

Got the last 4 border strips cut and ready to go. It just might be done tomorrow. :-D

I ordered a set of Red Snappers for loading the quilt on the frame but they are AGAIN out of stock, they didn't get their shipment. Was really hoping to have those for this quilt.

Your quilt is gorgeous!!! I took a look at the Red Snappers and they are awesome...I wonder if they will work on my Tin Lizzie...I must check these out!

The flange really adds to the top. I love the swirly border fabric. Can't wait to see it finished!

OMG are your fabric choices gorgeous. I will be anxious to see the finished quilt.

I tend to quilt too heavily for the 1/4 inch insert. It ruffles as my quilt pulls up from the quilting. But the Baptist fan is probably far enough apart

Your colors are so rich looking! Love the flange look :-D
Looking forward to seeing the quilt when you finish. You do such great work :thumbup:

Beautiful quilt!

It looks like it's going to be beautiful!

Beautiful. I love your cholce of fabrics. You always do such a good job.

Gorgeous! Beautiful work.

Got the first side sewn on. I love how this looks!!

Already thinking of designs for throw pillows to go with it. :-D

I came back for a second look. What is that black and gold fabric you used? It sets it all off so well.

I'll look up exactly what fabric it is, it should be in my email of the online order.

The solid black strip is Moda Marbles, the gold is a 1895 Bali Batik, and the patterend black and gold is Hoffman Bali Prints from Thousands of Bolts.
