Southwest quilt update...
 

I just put the last border on my Southwest quilt. The pattern is Navajo by Blanche White. I made the quilt for a twin sized bed, but when I laid it on the bed, the pattern just disappeared...only the center diamond remained, the rest was on the side of the bed. It isn't what I wanted.

So I have made it larger to fit a queen sized bed. The problem is that I don't have a large enough space to take a proper picture of it, neither on my design wall or on any floor in my house. But my quilt inspector and I did the best that we could, and here is what my quilt now looks like. You can't see all of the outer border, but it is black. Currently it is five inches wide, but it may end up being less than that.

I want to thank all of you who helped with all my questions along the way. I seemed to need a lot of hand holding on this one. Luckily I know just the place to come. :)

it's beautiful

It came out wonderful. I love the quilts in that book.

Oh I love that, spectacular job, Dina!

Hey Dina, you got approval from your quilt police so why ask us?? You selected the right widths and fabrics for you borders. Another great quilt. Are you still willing to make a duplicate for the other bed??? :)

Love it and I have a twin to your kitty....LOL!!!!!

That is simply awesome. Wow

turned out great!

No, originally I wanted two twin-sized quilts for beds in one room. Now the quit is going in a room with a queen sized bed. No need for a second quilt. Though I now worry I have mismeasured and it is too large. It is 94 inches x 106 inches. Guess I need to just put it on the bed it is designed for and see what I figure out, huh?

Good job of redoing for the queen size.
It should cover the mattress and box spring with a couple inches to spare...which should disappear once washed.

It is fabulous! I'm glad you enlarged it. That makes the design obvious and beautiful. Nice work!

Great pattern -- I think the larger size so you can see the pattern well was the correct choice. Good going!!

Wow that is very striking

Wonderful quilt. Love the colors.

beautiful quilt. those colors are perfect Southwest

Gorgeous, the size looks perfect on a larger bed. Always want to show off the quilt center. Great colors.

It's very pretty!

Very impressive. Love the colors and it definitely has that "southwest" flair!

It's beautiful!

Beautiful. Like your quilt inspector.

Thanks for the nice compliments. I am "fixing" to start the sandwich and then the battle to quilt. This will be the largest quilt I have quilted, and I am both looking forward to it and dreading it. :)

I like to SID, so that is what I will do. Send good thoughts my way, as I may need them.

Beautiful! Awesome colors going on - and the patience you had with this...totally awesome!

I think its beautiful. Obviously the kitty does too.

Pretty, nice work.

It's great. Such vibrant colors. Very striking. You did a really good job!!!

Ha! I am the least patient person I know...but I like thinking someone thinks I am patient! :) Thanks for your kind words. I feel very lucky that I like this quilt after all the impatient thoughts I had about it...

Dina

It truly is beautiful. I want to make one just like it.

Very very nice!!! You picked the right colors for the Southwest.

Dina, this quilt is gorgeous!

Pat yourself on the back for me and be proud. You did a great job!!

Beautiful beautiful quilt. You and your quilt inspector do great work and you should be proud of yourself.

Beautiful color combo and work

It's beautiful, you did a really great job on the quilt, based on your quilt inspector's vote of confidence.

Pretty quilt, pretty quilt inspector! Love your colors!

Nice southwest quilt.
