The pattern was for a quilt with no border, but I thought mine looked dull that way. So while the quilt was in progress, I swapped the off-white background for a blue background in a half block all around to self-border. I planned to do a simple grid quilting, but the 11.5” blocks meant that would have looked a bit wonky, so I went with what Jacquie Gering calls “point to point orange peel” quilting. I added the red circles and red binding because it felt like it still needed something. I used the circles as as an excuse to buy Applipop metal templates. My next project will be Buds in a Basket, which requires 6 circles appliqués per block.
