I love that my quilts have an attitude! Yay! Summer Solstice quilt top is completed.
Ginger stopped by last week and we got ourselves registered for a Houston International Quilt Festival workshop (fingers crossed and hoping) with Karen Eikmeier. While here, Ginger helped me with the fabric border layout - a great one....for my Summer Solstice. But after she went about her business, I discovered that I didn't have enough of each of the four fabrics needed to complete the border. Not to be totally outdone and much against Ginger's better judgment, I added more fabrics so that my outer border developed an Attitude (with a capital A). The pattern calls for four fabrics to sew together alternately around to make the outer border.....I think have 20 in this border...yikes. Yet, I love everything about my quilt.....especially that it is finished.

Love the quilt-itude! What's wrong with a few extra border pieces? The are happy! Don't you just love a finished quilt?
ReplyDeleteAnd I especially love that all the paper is now torn from the back. That's what not to love about paper-piecing.
