final border plans

the last border and corner squares will be quilted using these patterns.  quilting this amish center diamond has been real fun, sort of a quilting fantasy.  i've used several long admired patterns on what is essentially a blank slate of fabric.  like all my quilts, it isn't perfect and i don't really care that it isn't.  i am just enjoying the process immensely.  amish quilts and their densely quilted patterns first drew me into quilting, not the patchwork, and this quilt is a culmination of sorts of that first tantalizing attraction.

  3. Oh, Grace, those patterns will be beautiful. I can't help thinking how much work is involved. You certainly did choose patterns to highlight the quilting. When I hand quilt I usually choose much simpler templates or I know I would never finish. : )
