Chookyblue please mark me as TOP finished!!! Yea! :) Here's a blurry hanging picture . . .
What do you think? Do you like the borders? I love the color it gives to the quilt. I second guessed myself many times as to whether I should change them or not, especially as everyone keeps posting their beautiful quilts. Here's another picture with it laid out on the floor.
I wanted to change the borders to bring all the beautiful Pam Kitty morning prints and colors to the outside of the quilt. I just had to. I absolutely LOVE this fabric!!! I've already planned another quilt with the leftovers. I may even get some more as well (I can't help myself!). Here's the top half . . .
And the bottom half . . .
Now I need to sandwich, pin, quilt and add the binding. I plan on hand quilting it with the same perle cotton threads I used with the appliques and stitching. I wonder how long it will take? Hummmm . . . I'm sure I'll make it by the deadline of the end of the month. I'll be using a red gingham recycled sheet as the backing that goes perfectly, and the Pam Kitty Morning blue polka dot print for the binding. I can't wait until it's finished! Wish me luck! ;)
Until next time . . .
