mimuscraft OFFLINE Posts: 44	Oh no, I realized I have not started April BOM yet! Lot of to do on Easter! My version is so scrappy, that I realized also that before I start sewing swag border units, I have to calculate total yardage for the white and (was it) yellow fabric for the whole swag border. It would be sad to run out of fabric. Maybe some fabric shopping again...

Thanks Connie, this quilt is for our bedroom and its a bright sunny room so I felt I needed strong colours as lighter colours would just wash out in the overall look of the room.

The border is 1 1/4" and the ribbon is 7/8". I did know the 4-patches were supposed to be scrappy a couple of weeks ago when I first printed the instructions. I like them better this way for this quilt too so am not unhappy that I did them wrong.

gynconnie OFFLINE Posts: 730 Thank you received: 27	Annis, your border still looks plenty scrappy, even with a less-random color arrangement. In fact, since the pieces are SO small, I wonder if they don't have more visual impact since the color are grouped together a little bit. Jaw-droppingly beautiful!

My April mini is posted. It now measures 13 1/2" finished. It's almost like the border on Sue's quilt except for one minor detail. When I made my 4-patch blocks I forgot they were supposed to have 2 different darks in each block. That's what I get for not reading the instructions first, or at least looking at the picture. I figured I could make 4-patches without instructions! There was no way I was going to do any unstitching on these so I placed 4 like dark squares in a row. My 4-patch blocks for my Christmas BOM look the same. I made these first and was taking pictures for a tutorial which I don't have time to put together right now. So my mind was on 4-patch blocks that weren't scrappy. I will be unstitching these so won't get that border finished anytime soon.
