At last! The blocks sat for a year, more or less, before I came back to them and pushed towards a finish.
And I am pleased with it. Yes, the picture isn’t great due to size and adverse weather conditions, but you get the idea.
Final size is 84″ x 96″. A useful size and reasonable shape. It will be a while before it is a true finish. I need backing fabric and quilting and binding, but, this is a complete top and I am glad of it!
First border. Narrow–just enough to set apart the blocks, but not to add too much to the height.
I think there are three more borders coming…the end is in sight.
Some time ago I was gifted a complete kit with pattern of the Safe Haven Quilt by Thimbleberries. It wasn’t exactly my typical style, but I thought it would do me good to use an actual pattern, different color scheme, larger size pieces and a little applique.
So I made the blocks. And enjoyed it.
But, then I really looked at the setting and discovered I didn’t like it. It isn’t so bad in the pattern, but I have seen pictures of finished quilts on beds, and it isn’t for me. At all. I am sure many people do like it very much. Maybe I have just gone as far out of my comfort zone as I can manage.
So, what to do?
