Topic: Adding border to center block (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month historic journey recreating the historic Rajah Quilt, sewn by women convicts on board the ship Rajah traveling from England on April 1841 to the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land-now known as Tasmania. The original quilt measured at approximately 128" x 128", but Lessa recreated it in quarter scale with fabrics from her stash. She used many different scraps, imagining that's what might have happened when the original quilt was being made. She followed the colors of the original quilt loosely, and tea dyed fabrics that didn't look old enough. You can obtain the same look with reproduction fabrics, or make a more contemporary-looking version like the one created for TQS.

glacerda OFFLINE Posts: 145 Thank you received: 74	I have finished month 2's blocks. I have also finished the center block but have not done the machine appliqué. I know that I might have a little shrinkage after the appliqué is done. Would you wait to complete the machine appliqué or put the borders on and do the applique later? Love to get your thoughts.
