Working on this little lap quilt for myself has helped me get over my fear of pieced borders - a bit at least. I even taught myself a new technique and added a flange to either side of my pieced blue border.
Here are some photos of flange making in progress:
 |
| Step 1: cut 3/4" strip Step 2: fold and press wrong sides together |
 |
| Step 3: attach to quilt edge with <1/4" seam |
 |
| Step 4: Attach next border with 1/4" seam |
 |
| Tada! Finished flange |
I'm currently debating whether to add a prairie points border to this, followed by another, wider, white border. Current size is 52" x 45" (132 x 115cm). What do you think? Here are the current borders:

Getting better but those not-quite-90° angles are irritating |

This is very pretty! It took me a bit to see how it's laid out and made, and I think the border spacing really adds a great element to it. It's sophisticated and artsy, but also very feminine. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt - the fabrics are fabulous (yep, I've said that before!) I'm not sure about the prairie points. Maybe lay out some triangles to see what it looks like before sewing?
