That's the option I like best too oksewglad :D

Oooooooooh!! Anael ... beautiful! Your HITBD/CD is ever so nice! An interesting way to frame up finished blocks. Are you going to keep it? Or is it destined for the Day Care Centre too?
The colours look so much nicer in today's photos!! ITA on the white against the quilt centre. Helps frame and creates a step into what's next. Which brings me to ask ... what will you do after those are all on? Regular strip borders? |
Thanks for the compliments on the Barn Door :D I don't know, I thought about donating the HITBD quilt to the day care centre too, I have to ask how many they can use. My kids don't want quilts, that's for sure :(
The colours in the last 2 pictures are the real colors. I think I will do a regular strip border in the darker blue fabric. |
Oh Anael, that BOM quilt is stunning! Great colors and I can hardly wait to see what you do with the quiliting. I love the nap quilts you are working on too. You are sure moving along fast on those. I'm sure the recipients will dearly love them.

Anael, You're a generous soul!! I'm sure all will be more than thankful for your kindnesses.
I'm sure they will gladly accept all that you wish to share with them. Because they are destined for a public facility, chances are they are laundered perhaps more regularly than we would at home. Plus institutional laundry does not get the gentler care we do. Thus, they will show their wear much faster and need replacing more often. Although, this might create some jealousy as to who gets the "pretty ones" ... instead of the boring browns!!! You'll have your work cut out for you!! I was sitting here this morning sketching out a CD pattern, before I saw the HITBD/CD .... and smiled!!! Yes OKSGlad ... email on its way with a request! :) |
OK - what have ya got yourself into????
Anael - Your heart is in the right place. I love the border in the first pict. Oh, oh, oh! I just got the call from my apprentice's DM. She is in labor & will have the baby taday!!!!!!!! I feel like it's another Grandbaby!!! |
ThanksJeanie, QuiltE and dublb (and all my other friends) :)
I could ask to give the quilts to me to wash them. I think the elderly only use them as covers after lunch so I hope they won't get dirty that fast! I will do the borders tomorrow. Dublb, I hope everything is ok with your apprentice and your adopted grandbaby :D |

Oh you make me blush, Anael! I like the option with the white triangle up against the blue squares--to me it "Crowns" the quilt. it draws attention to the blocks by pulling the eye away from the blues.
The FG border on the Churn dash quilt is fantastic. Carrie can't you just see this quilt in the KT or Jo Morton color palettes? HMM let me go to EQ and see what happens... GGal, what do you have started that needs a finish? (As if OKSG doesn't have any UFO's of her own!!) |
GG ya sound as behind as I am. Lots o' things ta do! :) It keeps us from bein' bored.:thumbup:
Apprentice's baby was born. All the text said was..." 29" 7lbs 15oz." I'm gonna call 'em in th'mornin'. We already knew that it was a boy. It's drivin' me crazy that they are in Austin! 8 hours away! |
We must have all succumbed to the disease known as Wippox! Yup WorksInProgress Pox.:D
