I can only work with what is sent to me....You always do an amazing job with the fabrics you have. Your designs and quilts are always breath taking. Always a pleasure for me to see what you have come up with. I am in love with this quilt as well.

This is an awesome quilt, love the border. Is the pattern with border from a book or did you design it ? If you designed it, would you please, please, please tell in detail, how you made the border ? This is a beautiful way to use scraps. Thank you !

I made up the border pattern as I had miss calculated and had more 4 patch units than I needed. The border is the 4 patch set on point with the sashing ( two sides and the corner stone ), but added a 1/2 square triangle at each end of the four patch with the sashing, then flipped the units every other one 180 degrees. I then sewed a wide strip of the same cream color tone on tone to the widen the border a bit. It gets a little more complicated at the corners since its all set at an angle but once you see them in a lay out its easier to figure the corner union pieces.

The final border is just a short piano key border. ( but I don't think that's the one you were asking about )

The tone on tone cream color print made the straight cream strips that were added almost disappear when the quilting was done.

It is a double bat quilt , one layer warm and natural on layer thin poly... the quilting really shows up well with the two layers ,plus it warmer.
