I finished sewing together my string blocks. Look at that! The first few rows had looked disjointed. But once I assembled more rows, it came together. I need to work on my precision - several of the black strips moved when I initially stitched them to the paper. When I finished off the square, I should have aligned on the fabric, not on the paper. Next time I'll do better.
I had thought to add borders to make this throw or twin sized. But when I added the grey edges, I realized it's about baby quilt size (36x48"). I could just bind it as is. So far opinions have been split between stopping now or adding borders. I even had a vote to bind it as a wall hanging. Oh, the choices! Finish it or add on?
Regardless, this will be my second homeless quilt. I need to start finding owners for these quilts.
It's a beauty! I like it with out borders. But it will be just as stunning with borders.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! I have a pledge to myself on the header of my blog and it says "not to point mistakes out to others" I can't see anything wrong with your black strips at all!!! Its just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I tell my sister, the painter, that all the time. I need to start taking my own advice. :-)
DeleteBeautiful quilt, you know I love strings! I think it is perfect without borders and I don't see any mistakes! Thanks for sharing.
