Kmurphy OFFLINE Posts: 25 Thank you received: 83	Hello Quilters, is this black border ok? It is the fabric used in the flying geese and the Broderie Perse. I think that it is better than the pieced border that i attempted. Thanks for your input!

Also it’s been great to see all the beautiful quilts everyone is making! This is the first time I’ve posted and hopefully my picture works. I don’t have room for a design wall so use a spare bed.

Putting these up for comments. My first time doing an online quilt along and I have learned so much from Alex. I live in a fairly remote area and haven’t had many opportunities to have someone of Alex’s caliber to learn from.
These blocks are made from my stash of mostly reproduction fabrics with some dots and plaids thrown in for whimsy. I still have the cherry baskets to sew and the filler pieces. I’m considering using more of the floral stripe that is in a few of the baskets as a small sashing to tie the baskets together. It’s a floral stripe by Margo Krager.

Thanks!

Hi, it's Kim, from Vermont - This is my 3rd "quilt along" with Alex during COVID and I am loving it! I've learned so many helpful hints and my piecing has improving greatly - after 25+ years of quilting! Here's my basket quilt in progress . . . I am still making baskets and filler pieces like 1/2 square triangles, etc. Also, found a piece of fabric in my stash designed by Mary Koval. Does anyone recognize it? I only have 1/2 the selvage to see her name on it and Blank Textiles. I'm using it sparingly to add a dash of contrast.

Here is my basket Puzzle quilt, all finished except for blocking. Because it is asymmetrical, I tried to use color to balance it out. The piece is 26”x26” and because it is small, I skipped a border and added a scrappy pieced binding. Quilting is machine stitch-in-the-ditch around the blocks and big stitch hand quilting inside the blocks. This will be my used on my dining table in November. Thanks Alex for the great lessons! I think this quilt incorporates them all, especially not pressing bias edges (or, what I think of as staying away from the “hot lava”

.)
