Topic: Quilting
At the Sew and Stitchery Expo in March I picked up a panel print in the big bin of 'fabric by the pound' at one of the booths.
Having cut it apart I selected the center piece plus some of the outer border to use and combined these with coordinating colored borders from my stash.
I varied the width of the borders and just kept building and building. I did increase the width of the top and bottom on one border to make the quilt longer.
As far as quilting, I followed the lines of the print in the birdcage and along the first border of red hourglasses. I traced around the roses in the next border, added loop-the-loops in the border with tiny flowers.
The gray border was covered with a pattern of roses and leaves.
Then in the wide red border I made giant roses in cream thread.
I like this more than I expected to.
