Border Question--The Quilt Top by Committee is Finished Christmas Quilt
One the main section, I had asked for suggestions about border treatments. Several very nice people offered suggestions and I finished this up yesterday. So here is the finished project and I hope you will think it turned out okay.
I got this pattern off the Marcus Fabric website for free. I was looking for a pattern that would use the large focus print of the Kaufman Holiday 5 designs. I wanted to leave them in tact and that went against my wanting to do a stack and whack, which is how I see all fabric pretty much. The fabric is metallic and so beautiful and heavy.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]455294[/ATTACH]The finished flimsy.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]455295[/ATTACH]A bit closer view. This is about 92 x 102. I added an extra row. The border is two pieces (since I had cut the fabric before deciding to flip it and so had to add some back on to the outside. Grrrr!!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]455296[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH=CONFIG]455298[/ATTACH]Hard to get those corners of flowers perfectly matched as it is asymmetrical. But after ripping one out and trying to get a better match, I gave that idea up. At least the stripes came together at a 45 degree angle reasonably well.
I have fabric left over. This neat pile that I started with is now larger and flowing over the plastic tub. I think cutting fabric makes it multiply. So I started a Medallion sew along over on Blocks of the Week and Month to use up some of the leftovers. Hope you all have the beginnings of a Great New Year.
