Stars and Sprigs border #2
The quilt top is now too big to fit on the design wall so I clipped on some curtain rings for a photo. There's no doubting it, seeing two borders on is a joyful sight for me. I will admit to sewing on that bottom border upside down which required a little fix me up with the seam ripper.

BEAUTIFUL. I am hopeful mine will look just as good.
ReplyDeleteIt is so BEAUTIFUL Janet!
ReplyDeleteI'm SQUEALING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust heavenly! I have "watched" you stitch this since you first saw it and got permission from Kim to copy it and I am so thrilled for you to be almost done... I am an applique wanna-be but I am also a "lazy" quilter so I don't have the patience to set it all up. Someday when the kids are all grown and off I might grow the patience but for now I live through you and the other ladies on Glorious Applique!!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? It is just spectacular!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Awesome! Beautiful just doesn't say how truly incredible this quilt is. I love it.

ReplyDeleteI am so in love with this quilt! I really love everything about it-the colors, the pattern, the work-it is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI really like the different browns you used with the stems. I wouldn't have thought of that! It gives those branches life.
ReplyDeleteIt's incredible - really joyful to look at!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I add to all the comments above except a HUGE ditto to all of them. This pattern isn't even out yet, is it? This could be the perfect pattern to use every Kaffe fabric in the stash. I just love the movement of the borders.
ReplyDeleteare you bored yet? if so you can just send it to me I will happily finish it and enjoy it the rest of my life! Just Beautiful Janet!!!!
ReplyDeleteKathie...

ReplyDeleteWow!!! What a happy quilt. I just love looking at your fabrics. We will all cheer you on to get the other two borders finished. It is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe, just like everyone else. Would you please take a minute to tell us 1) What size the blocks are? and 2) How did it happen that you have made this even before the pattern is released? You are obviously just the right quiltmaker to get the rest of us psyched up--how did that happen?
ReplyDeleteIt's so happy - I love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed this earlier...Oh My Janet this is One Gorgeous Piece of Work...Very Inspiring.
