Any suggestions?
Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

Strippy block quilt top.
Remember those strips I was making into blocks last month? Well, I finally ran out of strips which was such a good feeling to see the scraps bin reduced in size! I took the blocks to the Quilt Shop and moved them around on the design wall in several configurations before I decided to make them up like this. Our tutor said it was boring and I should have mixed them up, but when I tried doing that, I wasn't happy with the result, so boring it is! (she wasn't being rude by the way - she is is very creative and helpful - and honest!). Now, what to use for a border....I saw a similar quilt on Pinterest, and it had no border at all, just made up as a quilt as it was.
Looks lovely, Gina ... I'm glad you went with the half white squares !!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about a border ... perhaps a tiny black to frame it, then wider white, then black again, or a border made of all the colours, if you have any left over ??
it would look good without a border
