That is absolutley stunning. OBW is on my bucket list. I have the book, just waiting for the "right" fabric.

And your explanation answered every question I had about the process. One really needs to plan ahead to do this - especially in making sure there is enough backing material. Thanks again for all the details. The quilt is beautiful and looks like it fits in perfectly with the existing decor. :thumbup: :thumbup: |

The backing did require a seam, being that it was 40x60 before I decided on the extra bordering. No way, was I sacrificing any of the OBW front to save backing!!! :) Luckily I got a perfect match on the seam, so it is insignificant. As for the decor match, that wasn't a plan at all, though I am thrilled. I'm not sure if it will hang on the wall or drape over furniture yet. I bought the fabric a few years ago because I liked it and thought, yes, it's for a OBW ... then was scared to do it on my own and waited for a course. I'm glad I did and probably had the best teacher I've had in any sewing course, ever! :) The fabric did not lend to a border on the quilt. As I worked with it, the quilt talked to me to keep it light, airy and feminine (and I am SO not that!). From my earlier threads, many of you know, for awhile I was considering a self-fabric ruffle edge or lace ruffle. Then alas, I decided a flat lace would be better. IMHO the flange just seems to do a perfect framing of it all! As for that blue one in the midst .... it was the prototype run! I did change my "technique" after doing it, but felt a 2nd prototype wasn't needed. Hope this has helped many of you with ideas for future projects! I'll look forward to seeing yours. |
Love the beautiful completed work.
