When I signed up for the SAHRR with Sunny of Quilting Dreams guess I wasn't prepared for a challenge , I have taken part in many RR's over the years and yes I have been stumped before but not quite to this extent it was usually a matter of what will I add to this person's project ,however this time we are working on just our own quilt and each month adding a new border , seemed easy enough but somewhere between grade 12 and now I lost my ability to do math and the sad part is I was at the top of my class in math , just loved it . I guess the saying "Use it or lose it " is true :-) Now the wonderful thing is that here in Blogland there are always those who are willing to help in anyway they can so I asked for help with my little dilemma and I received a few suggestions from Fiona of Bubzrugz ,then I asked my friend Annette of In Stitches and Seams and she was a tremendous help . Annette has the EQ program and I sent her a picture of my project which she put into the program and added some log cabin blocks and sent me a picture to me to show me what it would look like . I had in my mind what I wanted and somehow couldn't get that quite worked out but with a little help from a friend I am proud to share this addition to my SAHRR block , I am really pleased so a big thanks to Fiona and especially Annette as I am very much a visual person and seeing it helped so much.. Eventually I will add some applique in the space between the green border and the log cabin blocks . What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by and hope your day is filled with some stitching fun. Hugs Sheila
It's magnificent!! Most people think that since I'm in accounting that I should be good at math. Not so, my friend. I struggled with this one myself. I think all the other borders will be more simple than this! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect touch Sheila...I was never good at math..
ReplyDeleteI love it...I might hav to follow your lead on this one. I was completely stumped too. Mostly because of my "crazy" quilt triangls. too me the log cabin look doesn't "go" with them.
ReplyDeleteThey suit the quilt perfectly. A bit of applique would look great in there where you said. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteYou've done a nice job with this challenge Sheila. I like the effect.
ReplyDeleteI was the same with Math.. really good and now I'm useless... well done for you and Annette interpreting what I was thinking - and then working out how to do it.... looks great....

I'm hopeless with math too. The log cabins are the perfect thing!
ReplyDeleteYep I struggle with the math too. maybe that is why I have been so slow at getting this border on.
ReplyDeleteYour's looks fabulous Sheila.
Next time I do a RR I won't do a centre I can't turn on point.
Your block looks amazing, the corners are so lovely with the centre block. You are very clever.
ReplyDelete-so beautiful and I like the Log Cabin corners. Lovely fabrics and very well done!
