Relay for life donation
 

Here is the start of a wallhanging I am making for the relay for life in our area. I am now sewing the strips together I have about 1/4 of it sewn.

Now I need to figure out how to quilt this.

It is 41X89 I wish it wasn't so long. I am not sure anyone will have a wall big enough to hang this on. I may have to figure a way to make it into a bed quilt.

This is absolutely gorgeous!! I look forward to seeing it when it is finished.

I would put on side borders in the purple and black - maybe 4" for one and 6" for the other, giving you another 20 inches on the quilt width. That would make the quilt 61" by 89", almost a good twin, definitely a great throw for a recliner.

I so agree. Beautiful!!!!

Beautiful!!

That is one beautiful quilt. Love the colors and pattern.

it is beautiful- and i agree you should add side borders to make it a *usable* size...as a wall hanging it would have very limited (customer appeal) if it is to be used as some sort of fund raising for relay-
i've made a number of quilts over the past 10 years for relay for life activities- and the ones that are the most popular are twin-to full sized (value wise) queens are popular but it seems like the best (bang for the buck) is with a bit smaller than that.

That is beautiful. My favorite colors.

Love it, been wanting to try a quilt like this but wasn't sure if the strips went from top to bottom or side to side now I know. Thank you

Wonderful and the colors are so beautiful. I have no idea of how you quilt it unless you can mimic the ribbon shape

Oh My ! That is so very pretty!

Fantastic !!!!

It will be beautiful, I would for sure add the borders as suggested to make it wider. I don't think many would buy it as a wall hanging.

Thanks everyone. I am going to add the borders.

that is beautiful can't wait to see the finished top

That is going to be beautiful, great job and thank you for sharing and don't forget to post when finished
Have a Blessed day

Fabulous quilt!

very very nice

I can not wait to see this quilt finished, this is going to be awesome! Beautiful Job!

This will be a stunning quilt! Anxiously waiting to see it finished!

I agree this is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
Would love to see it finished, I am a cancer survivor and love that you are donating to Relay for LIfe

It's already breath taking. Will be spectacular when finished.

Beautiful - I had been wanting to do a bargello maybe this will make me act. Was this from a pattern or book or did you make it up?

The pattern is Ribbon Quilts Pink Bargello Ribbon. I ordered online thru Erica's Sewing and Crafts. It s $11.99 and $2 of the purchase price goes to breast cancer research

what a nice quilt!!!!

Stunning, cant wait to see it finished

that is a cool quilt.

I still have not finished this. I need to get it done by June. I have the accuquilt go pink ribbon die. I went to my LQS yesterday and they suggested using a darker pink border and appliquing some of the pink ribbons using the colors in the quilt. Do you think that would look good? I put it away because I am so afraid just adding a big border will make it look like I didn't want to do any more work on it. You ladies on here are so helpful can you help me understand that it will look o.k. with just a big border. Thanks.

It is a gorgeous Bargello and you have done well with the colour combination! It is lovely. :)
