I am continuing work on the Roseville border as I am still avoiding the block with the vase that I was not pleased with. The Mantra-----never underestimate the border-----is true as it is taking a LONG time. I think it is because of the "hands" which are putsy.
The blocks are like a fling...the boarder is like a marriage! lol
ReplyDeleteI can imagine those borders would take some time but it's going to be oh so worth it. Love the lolly block too.
ReplyDeleteAnna I like that!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I LOVE your fabric choices and fussy cuts!!! Your panel and block make me smile. Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteOh no!..Don't tell us the border doesn't go along like a breeze. I keep telling myself it's going to be easy after all of the intense work on the body of the quilt. ;)
ReplyDeleteYours is beautiful!
I love your Lollipop block too. That's such a fun quilt. :)
Your work is beautiful, I cannot wait to see your lollipop blocks come together. Your quilt is going to dance.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on the border. Really well done!
ReplyDeleteMary, I'm glad you are tackling the last vine border now, there are 4 of those, so breaking up the task is really a good idea. What I do when I need to do repetitive border is to count how many flowers / leaves so you can allocate x number for each colour - it simplify the gathering of fabric choices. Then cut up the fabric blobs in the different colurs for all 4 borders.
ReplyDeleteThe border is looking great, lovely colours! Love the lollypop block too. Cheers, Kim McL
Thanks for the border advice. I knew there was a more organized way to choose the colors, but hadn't thought it through.
