today i finally completed the "fat tuesday on orca bay" flimsy. i still think i will bind it with the cheddar and it will be tied, not quilted...but not right away. i have to put it on the shelf for a bit in order to get a break from looking at it for the past 4 months. i simply don't appreciate the colors right now. i did make a few little changes like inverting the last border and using a purple square in place of the QSTs on the end rows. i think it gives the middle part a bit more space drawing attention to the action, which i like. it'll be a donation quilt eventually and i'm certain whoever becomes its owner will love it just as it is....not perfect, like me...LOL!
I appreciate the colors, even if you're tired of looking at it. Great rendition! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSuperb Grace.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the flimsy finish, Grace. It is a lovely quilt and a lot of work for a donation! Very good of you to do that. I think it glows!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous flimsy! I am in awe that you got this top finished!
ReplyDeleteAnd I know how it feels to want some time away from a big project.
your orca bay is beautiful...i love the colors. it is quite an undertaking...won't be long you'll get it quilted and be snuggled under it...although hand quilting may take a while.
ReplyDeleteso happy you're back to work, too.
This is one of the nicest I've seen! If you decide to sell it, let me know!
