Well it is sort of a finish as I have completed all that I have to do on this quilt and now it gets handed over to Tarja so that she can hand sew the binding. I cut up leftover fabrics to make a scrap binding, my favourite kind of binding when it works.
Today I also managed to get the pinwheels and yellow borders sewn on this one too. I wasn't sure if I like the mixture of the two blocks and if I had to do it over again I would probably do more D9Ps or more pinwheels but this has grown on me so I am going to keep it how it is. I still need to add a plain yellow border all the way around it and decide on the backing fabric.
I have a cute puppy dog fabric that I might use - just need to get it out and have a look at it with this and see how the colour is. I have a really gorgeous almost 1930s puppy dog fabric that I would love to use but it is more of an aqua blue.
This fabric isn't as cute but it is still cute =- possible better colour but not as 1930's.
Or I could use some clouds - This is a Daisy Kingdom Fabric. Would you believe I bought 3m of this fabric at at Daisy Kingdom itself for about $3 when I was on a Country Heritage Tour and visiting DK itself was part of the tour - oh bliss, the prices!
Another cloud fabric - not Daisy Kingdom but still nice.
Or I may just keep looking!
Thoughts anyone?
Think I will sleep on it!
Till next time.............happy stitching!
So many great choices and so many decisions but, no worries, I think the quilt will tell you which one to use.
ReplyDeleteI like the top puppies!
ReplyDeleteI like either Puppy print. It is hard to tell about the colour, though, but either will look great!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts look great. I like the pinwheels with the disappearing nine patch. Of course I a parcel to puppies so I agree and say puppies.

Too many decisions to make....but I do love the puppies, both sets.
ReplyDeleteeither of the puppies, but the first one probably matches better.
