I'm still frogging the borders on Mary's quilt...one done, one to go. I'm sooo glad I noticed the gold thread was too bold before I had done all 4 borders!!
In the meantime, I loaded this HUGE quilt. Feather meander ala Suzanne in the body of the quilt. And recently, a thread on MQR had lots of members sharing their freehand flowers. This one in the pink border is my variation of one of those that were shared. I just measured the border and marked out triangles. I started stitching the 'flowers' travelling from one to the next down the marked 'triangle' lines and in the ditches...so it flowed nicely and was continuous the length of the border. Cute, quick, and easy,peasy....just how I like it! Then I finished up the outer border with bead board. This client wanted custom, but also wanted to keep the cost down some, seeing this quilt is HUGE. Did I tell you it's HUGE!!! Anyway, I think she'll be pleased.
