My finished quilt top, Three Coneflowers with Borders.... |
Hello Quilt Friends!
Of course spring officially starts on the 20th of March but here locally in Lake Wilderness Arboretum, Jonquils and Windflowers/Anemone are blooming now. Also blooming are Camellia shrubs, Crocus and Hellebore, etc. It is colorful and exciting.
This last week I finished up the top of my Bramble Blooms l QAL project. I call it Three Coneflowers Medallion with Borders. I wanted to keep the outside border dark to contrast with the light border preceding it. I had a difficult time trying to decide how complicated to piece that final border. But finally inspired by Linda at kokaquilts and her housetop logcabin quilts, because they look so fun! I realized that the BBl qal project just had to get finished so I could move onto something else! I tried new techniques (raw edge machine applique) and got some good tips from Audrey at quiltyfolk. Thank you Audrey.
Now did someone say Log Cabin blocks in housetop formation? Here I come!
What projects are you finishing up?
I'll be by to visit.
Congratulations on another great finish. I like the border of mixed batik and prints.
ReplyDeleteSo you are off on another log cabin voyage. What is a housetop formation? I am looking forward to finding out!
