I wanted to work on something "springy" and I found this in an old Fons & Porter magazine that I had bookmarked for future sewing. Well, it only took me 5 years to start this (LOL) and it went together rather quickly.

The directions in F&P magazines are rather vague so I altered a couple things. I think that's one of the reason's I quit getting their magazine a long time ago. That and most of their patterns are for Intermediate and Experienced and I was a newbie back then.

Anyway, the Dogwood's are fused and I will stitch around them when I quilt it. This is only the top and needs to be finished. The original pattern called for 3 more bindings but I'm not sure if I'll do that. I kinda like it the way it is. What do you think? Maybe one more wider binding???

maybe one more...

Cute, I would like this for my neice.

What a pretty quilt! It feels very happy like just having it around will lighten a room :) great job.

I think you mean boarder instead of binding. It depends on how big you want to go, but do think another boarder would add to it. Very pretty.

It's nice and bright! Awesome job! I think one more border would be okay, but two could really make a nice contrast.

Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!

Very pretty. I like it. It's bright and fresh looking. I like the border fabric, too. I had that fabric at one time.

depends if a wall hanging or quilt/throw then I'd say bigger another border or two, its pretty in pink!!!

so pretty. i would add another border or 2

Very cute! I could use some spring myself. :/

and do some sort of stitch in the flower petal "dips" so they will look even more like dogwood blossoms. great quilt.

Maybe bind in hot pink.

cute!

I love dogwoods! I think a darker green border would be a nice frame for the rest of it! :D :thumbup:

Very pretty....I agree with Ditter a darker green would really set it off nicely. Look forward to seeing it when you are done.

Very pretty!

Looks like Spring.

how pretty

That's so pretty!! :)

that quilt is so bold and Beautiful....

welcome spring

Very pretty quilt. I love the pink.

Very pretty, maybe one or two borders something pink and then a dark green. :D

I agree with Ditter, and love it so far! :thumbup:

Now that's really cute & springy. Thanks for sharing.

I like the fabric you have chosen for the quilt. Yes, a dark green would really be nice, but two borders might be nice too. Wonderful.

You know, I kind of like it just the way it is.

The dogwoods are clean and have a beautiful simplicity about them, and just the one border is just enough to highlight them beautifully.

Very, very pretty effect!

Very pretty.

Very lovely
