Do you want to see what is on my design wall at the moment , sure you do .
That's right it is empty , so now you want to see what came off right ,sure:-)
Here is where the whoop , whoop comes in , I have finally gotten this sewn together into a top , now I do need to think about an outside border but it sure feels wonderful to have this at least to this stage .The nine patch blocks were an exchange with my Tuesday quilting buddies and the center blocks were blocks that I had made last year with plans to make the Farmers Wife quilt but that didn't happen and it seemed like the perfect place to use them .Any suggestions for a border ??
Isn't it amazing how so many colors and patterns can work well together , I do love a scrappy quilt . I also spent some time doing some prep work on my QAL with Darlene, I have all of the star blocks cut and ready to stitch and all of the feather leaves cut so onward and upward .
Mother Nature needs a serious check up , it is spring on the calendar but a blizzard is raging outside , this has to be the worst storm we have had this year ,I almost said winter and it sure looks and feels like winter . The good thing is it won't stick around too long or that is my hope , I am ready for green and color about now. Hey the other good thing is it is a great day to quilt so guess what I will be doing .
Thanks for stopping by and where ever you are I hope Mother Nature is treating you kindly .
hugs Sheila
Congratulations on a cleared wall! This is a lovely quilt - oh, border??? I would have to audition various fabrics to decide on that one myself. We are due another storm in a couple of days - March came in like a lion and going out like one, too!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree. You will have to try different colours agaist the quilt to see which one to use...
ReplyDeleteThe top does look fabulous with all the differnt blocks..
I love scrappy too, well done and what a great feeling to have it off the wall!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! It looks really great. Such a feeling of accomplishment too!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful quilt Sheila....love all the color
ReplyDeleteWhoop! Whoop! looks great. I think just try different fabrics next to the quilt and go with the one that strikes you just right.
ReplyDeleteWhoop! Whoop! Love the colors and the blocks..I am sure you will find the perfect border.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful top with all the different blocks!
ReplyDeleteMother Nature here at the moment is La Mère Frigidaire...it is sooooo cold, especially because of the rough north eastern winds that make the low temperatures easily feel like 10 degrees lower.
But, my home is cozy, warm and lovely.
Blessings,
Jeanneke.
definitely a big whoop whoop from here... it is beautiful.... and I think scrappy is my favourite in quilts....
ReplyDeleteWeather seems a bit nuts over there.... stay indoors and stitch!

Whoopie !! LOL.. Great quilt ..I would never be able to pick a color .. But I am sure u will find the perfect border .. I too am sewing on my Card trick quilt today as we can hardly see our garage ..Sew Stormy... But oh so cozy by the fire... Hugs & Chat soon ...
ReplyDeletewow this looks awesome Sheila maybe a black border so that all those colours stand out.xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt! Love the variety of blocks. It will be quite a treasure when complete!
ReplyDeleteI would personally skip the boarders and use it as is. But I'm not a huge border fan. :-) I think un-boardered (if that's even a word) quilts are trendy right now.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of Whoops! It is just wonderful. Awesome job! Love what the black sashing does. For borders...my first instinct would be to continue on with the black but then I noticed, what appears to be a medium blue checked bedspread, peeking out at the end of your quilt top, and I really like that shade of blue because it pulls out the blue in the blocks, for me anyway.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking lovely, the blocks look fabulous together. Hope the storm has passed for you.
ReplyDeleteWhoop whoop, it's amazing well done and getting it all together.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing quilt top, I'm sure you will do fine with the border, not being a quilter I can offer no ideas, LOL
ReplyDeletevisiting from FNSI x
Wonderful finish Sheila!!! What a bright and cheerful quilt top! I'll look forward to seeing how you choose to border it :*)
ReplyDeleteWow, those blocks all look so good together. It's a beautifull quilt! & congrats on clearing the wall... now you'll have to work on filling it again. :)
ReplyDeleteI am whooping it up with you...just lovely!
