I've slowly been working on my curves blocks. I've had them up on my design wall forever it seems. Every time I go back to my room I stop and move a couple around to make the setting "just right".
Well for goodness sake!! How perfect can it get anyway?
I finally decided all the moving around really didn't make a whole lot of difference so I'm now sewing it together. I think I'm going to add a small black stop border and then do a 5" or 6" piano key scrappy border using all the different fabrics.
BTW.... Sorry about the pic laying on it's side. I don't want to go back and straighten it. Those are really my closet doors that I have batting attached to.
I love your circle quilt!! Isn't it nice to finally call 'er good and turning it into a finished top? Your idea for a border sounds good to me :0)

I keep putting off the curved piecing project I want to do....an orange peel, I'm sure I'd get the hang of it I did a dozen blocks. Your's looks great! Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteBTW the smallest triangles are 1" finished. Really not bad the way I'm making them.
Oh my gosh! Too funny! I made a quilt like this for my daughter in all blue and green floral fabrics. I did the same thing. Moved the blocks again and again and again before I could decide. It sure is pretty. I saw one at a quilt show in blacks and reds. Hmmm. Maybe another project.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. I love your quilt. I've used the crazy curves templates! I made a black/red and white one and have all the circles sewn for one using the Morris workshop fabric but haven't started playing with it yet. I mix the 7" and the 3.5" circles. Aren't they the fastest curves and so addictive!
ReplyDeleteAnd I did the same thing-kept moving them around, you could go nuts doing that!
I love your Bom from Shannon's blog, I'm doing that one too. I like your black background, wish I would have used something like that--too late now tho.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I have some of the circle templates as well. And after a few test runs realized: me and curves don't mix... Love and admire anybody who gets it!
ReplyDeleteI have the templates, too. I think I will try one this year, sometime. I really like circles and how they interplay.
ReplyDeleteI love these colors. It is coming together nicely.
ReplyDeleteI really like that! I guess I better invest in those templates!
