After a lot of searching on my blog I found a single image of this mini quilt, which I apparently started in March 2017. I don't know how long it took to put the border on, but I am sure that it was the border that was the reason it spent two years in the naughty corner!
I like things to be symmetrical and I just had to accept this was not going to happen with these tiny pieces. The important thing is the quilt is now completed (after pulling the house apart to find a matching scrap of blue for the binding) and I am happy! Because it is blue and white all is forgiven :). This mini will appear on my lounge room wall after our exhibition in late May....something else will have to come down, but its time for a change!
Pattern by Ann Hermes based on an antique quilt, published in American Patchwork and Quilting magazine February 2011, finished size 17" x 17".
Happy quilting Sue.
That is just so darling!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous. The zig zag border is fun. And yes, any design good or bad can look good in blue and white.
ReplyDeleteThat pattern is a bit complicated, but you did a great job on it. Don't ever forget: "Finished is better than perfect!" ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little quilt. That border gives a lot of visual interest, and I love the blue/white palette.
ReplyDeleteI like the zig-zag border! It gives it a lovely antique look.
ReplyDeleteWell done for a finish, sometimes we have to accept that finished is better than perfect, but like you I like things symetrical too. Would it have worked putting corner blocks in the border??
