Very pretty!

that's gorgeous! I would do a white border using the same white you did in the quilt.
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna

No, I cut pieces slightly bigger, then cut them to size after they were put together.
Now that's dedication. Since I discovered Thangles I try to use them whenever possible. ;)
I just wanted to see if I could do it. I didn't know any better a couple of years ago and cut each individual block for a John Deere quilt (shown in my Picassa pictures-finished projects). I have learned since then about that, maybe Thangles will be coming to my house sometime in the future.

I love them! I pin my fabric on several sheets then sew them all at the same time just going from the first on one to the first on the next and so on. I also make a little "nip" into the cutting line down each side so that when I cut them apart the little "ears" come off at the same time--no trimming later.

Your quilt is stunning. I would do a white border and blue binding.

That is absolutely beautiful. I agree with the white border. It really needs one. You did a wonderful job on it. Thanks for sharing.

I love your quilt!! Blue and white is one of my favorite color combinations.

Here is my method for making HSTs

This is very very pretty! You did a great job on it. Love everything about it. Thanks for sharing.

I'm going to take another look at my leftovers and see if I can come up with a border and binding. Everyone seems to think it would be the icing on the cake.

One more question: If I have to piece the white border, would the seam detract? That was my only hesitation.
