I’ve been trying to figure out the borders for this scrappy collage quilt. I’m attempting to accomplish two things: Use scraps and practice new techniques. The blocks were pieced and individually quilted using the leaf design from the January FMQ challenge. Then I attached them with the thin black sashing using a technique I saw on a uTube video online. I like how that came out. Now I have to decided if I want borders or not. This is destined to be a new blankie for my cat and I’d like it to be a little larger than just the four blocks which measure 25”x25”.
Current options: a.) 5” scrap strips (shown on top) b.) two rows 2” squares (left) c.) one row 2” squares (right) or d.) no added border (bottom) Leave a comment and tell me know which one you favor.
Welcome to blogging. I see you are new. Your scrap piece is nice. Good to use the internet to learn the quilt as you go. I have seen some very large quilts done that way.
ReplyDeleteI like the piano key border on the top. I'd definitely put it all around.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you are asking for opinions, but I like the piano key border... very nice scraps!
