Happy Friday!!!
Real quick... a New Mystery is starting in September: Long May She Wave
I have been traveling a little bit - so this week I chose to finish projects that came to me already started.
The first one was just the center, so I added the Two Borders, the backing and I quilted it. It is now a Quilt of Valor size and someone in my QOV group will get it bound for us!
And the next one - came from Kathy - she made the center, and then she had to move so she gave it to me to see if I should make it bigger. I decided - I really liked it just the way it was. so I chose a backing and got to quilting:
Isn't it pretty? ( Don't laugh - but I did NOT notice there was one white border, and none on the others until I hung it up to take a photo) I must have been overtired... but you know what? It will be loved anyways!!
many of you asked about my Flamingo clips - Here is a link to them:

The one border looked like it was channeling the modern quilts with more white space--very pretty! I like the strippy quilt, too, as always!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow I love the star quilting!!! Adorable pattern. I love how you made the quilt bigger, too. I also love the second quilt, and the white border on one edge doesn't bother me at all. Glad you're enjoying zukes! I just found one more in the garden, so I will get to enjoy another zuke boat in the next week or so!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilts. The one with the white border is "in." I just saw a quilt with a black border similar to this one, made on purpose for fun.
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice the one sided white either. Oh well. I like how the inner white really shows off the quilting though. It amazes me how the simple strips of fabric can make a really nice quilt.
ReplyDeleteSingle border is your signature, Alycia. That is the story and stick to it. Enjoy your travels and be safe. Iam sure you will have a picture or two to share when you return :-p
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts are lovely - not noticing the border? Well that just makes me like you even more!
ReplyDeleteI am debating joining the QAL in September even tho half of my brain is screaming NOOOOO. The other half is whispering - why not? it'll be fun.....
Kathy’s quilt with one white border is artistic! Beautiful quilt! And the QOV quilt is lovely.
