I'm so happy to have had time to do some sewing, my poor machine must have been feeling neglected. This is one of many quilts I hope to have done before Christmas. I'm going to add the red fabric laying on top that bucket as the larger outer border. The brown under it is what is in the quilt although it looks black in this pic it is actually brown with small red dots.I still need to get some backing for it. I had originally bought a lighter back with dots in the colors on the front but after rethinking about the quilting which I've decided I think I'll do in a darker variegated thread or do you think a lighter background with the variegated thread would look pretty. I've got way better with my machine quilting so it's not a problem if it shows it's just I don't know about how that would look on that backing fabric.
That is a very pretty quilt. No idea which color (lighter or darker background) would be better, but I love variegated thread. That border with the scrappy pieces looks great.

ReplyDeleteDonna, beautiful quilt. I LOVE the colors, you choose the best colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that you are already thinking about Christmas instead of waiting until the last minute. The quilt looks wonderful.
