I continue to make progress on my itty bitty triangles. I'm slightly crazy to being doing this one but it is moving ahead. And, I do have a wonderful gallery wall to hang it on when done.
Most everything has been checked off on the weekly goals. Yippee!

Happy Quilting All!
I was going to say, "A red border." Then my inner designer said, "Red border, but continue the split nine-patches into the side borders."
ReplyDeleteI always love reading your weekly lists. Love, love the split 9 patches. If it were mine, I would bring those dark points out into the side border just to finish off the square. Whatever you decide to do will be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute bumble bee. You can't go wrong with itty bitty triangles, no matter what you do with them. :)
okay girlfriend, just how itty bitty are those triangles?? Have I moved you over to the crazy side of quilting? I've been using up those 1.5" squares for 9 patches as leaders/enders and have half of the 120 I need for my Bonnie Hunter quilt - yeah!!! Love the split nine patch. Have you considered NO border??
ReplyDeleteAs above, it would be great to "finish" the inner square. I don't know if there was a specific size you wanted, but two more rows on the sides would do it. At the very least a stop border from the darks the same width as your squares, then perhaps a print or stripe with these colors in it. A zig-zag border of more squares would work as well.
ReplyDeleteThe split 9 patches is beautiful. I like the idea of a red border, too. The red in the quilt would really pop then. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell, aren't you the busy bee? (Pun intended) And I am just starting to get back into the sewing groove. But I still want to do the split 9 patch, as soon as I get caught up in what is already on my "lists."
