I really like it so far, although I might have chosen a different inner border if we didn't work from the outside in. There is one more border to put on. And, all of the leading has to be sewn on each side! Yikes, put an audio book on for that! Here's Sharon's.
I love how she used the design in the fabric to add to the overall design. You might want to click on the picture to see it enlarged.

I highly recommend you spend some time being inspired by quilters across the internet. Visit Patchwork Times to see what is on design walls this week.

ReplyDeleteI've found that if I moderate my comments after a post is a couple of days old, the ad comments hit that and I can easily delete them without them showing up in comments! :)
I love both of the stain glass projects. One of these is on my list, I just don't know where on it. I love your work.

you can read all about the original quilt here. it is a block a month for 25 months. with so many other people making the quilt, there will be alot of support along the way. i am not sewing the buds in the corners. right now that is too much sewing for my wrist. maybe in 25 months i will feel better but for now i have sewn as much as i can.
thank you for visiting my blog
