I love anything out of a Blackbird Designs book.
This is my version of Chelsea Cottage. I got all the blocks assembled, then decided it needed a sawtooth border. The sawtooth border contains alternating red and black HST's. I LOVE scrappy, and this is SCRAPPY! I'm still trying to decide if I want an outer border, then must make a decision about the quilting. I'm leaning toward hand quilting. It will be a large wall hanging for my sister Laurie. It's already 54 x 74...already big for a wall hanging. Hmmm....
Weasley thinks the applique needs a cat or two, since my sister has cats. Hmmm...
He's my worst critic and my biggest fan, but can be easily bought for some kitty treats.
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
Your quilt is fabulous. Your sister is going to love it. Weasley is quite the handsome gentleman!
ReplyDeleteits beautiful I love what you did with the applique !
ReplyDeleteok I think a bed quilt or great quilt for over the couch to take a nap under...
a border would look great...

adorable weasley....
Boy, did it turn out scrumptious! I think I like it way better than the original!! (Translation: COPY! LOL) The hst border really adds a certain something to it. LOVE it! It you had SCADS of time an appliqued border would be excellent... :-D (Don't kill me for suggesting it! LOL) Definitely taking notes now!

Your sister is going to be blown away! This is a gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteWOW this quilt is wonderful!! Personally, I don't think it needs another border, it would distract instead of frame IMHO :0)

GREAT Theresa, I love that triangle border also. Weasley is right, it looks like there is room for a kitty in there.
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitching,

Love the HST's...this came out great. I'd either applique a vine border or go without...talk about extremes no!
ReplyDeletebeautiful quilt
ReplyDeleteI have not tried hand applique but I may give it a try soon.

The border just sets it off!
ReplyDeleteLove those HSTs Teresa, I like Laurie's idea of an appliqued vine border.! You can just run that up in an hour or two, I know you can :o)
