This is the kaleidoscope quilt top I've been working on, and was looking for quilting ideas (earlier topic).
I was going for a scrappy red/white/blue, and as far as that goes, I'm very happy.
What I'm unhappy with is the fact that I had to trim some blocks to the degree that the points of the wedges are swallowed up in the seam allowances. I guess my sewing wasn't quite accurate enough, even though I planned things pretty carefully.
I need to put the borders on yet....I plan on a medium width red print inner border, then a narrow width white print border, than a wide width blue print border, and possibly a red binding.
I need to save up the funds for the outer border, binding and quilting.....that could take awhile.
If anybody has any quilting ideas, I'm still wide open to suggestions!
Thanks for looking!
