I like it best, but maybe it pulls your attention away from the appliques and intricate piecing? I tried hiding one half with my hand and looking at each side. Either way it's a winner. Kathy

The stripes seem to just fade out, not giving a good edge. Of course, it's what you see that counts ! I know it will be wonderful regardless . Marilyn

Thank you received: 263

Which one? The striped fabric on the left or the triple border on the right. And do I have to make the 28 appliqued circles! I have a little over 3/4" to work with so the green strip on the right would be about 1/2" wide which would mean the circles should probably be 1/4". I'm not sure that I want to do those but I have too much time in this quilt to take the easy way out. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

One of the quilts was supposed to be hung but the booth didn't have enough wall space and I told the owner to only put out what she had space for. Maybe I need to have my own booth one of these days.

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	Well, I know that feeling and I made the big version! It took me two days just to snip all the stray threads while preparing the quilt top for quilting :shock: I thought I would never finish it.

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	Oh Annis, they are just amazing! I hope you are pleased with how they look because they look really good to me. I can't imagine sewing such tiny pieces together and ending up with anything other than a bunch of frayed threads. Enjoy Houston. Rita.
