OK, so I have finally made some sort of decision about the outer borders of "Baltimore Rhapsody." I will stitch one of the border strips, and see if it is truly what I want.
I will use F clefs in the corners, in a heart motif. THAT I will figure out after I get the four long strips done. I am really liking the swags with the holes in them. The G clefs are a little intense...and I have to make 24 of them...oy! Fortunately, I have 148 leftover purple circles, so I hopefully don't have to make more of them!
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
That border is going to be GORGEOUS! I have really enjoyed watching the progress on this quilt. Keep going. You are almost there!
ReplyDeleteYour time and experimentation for the border design has produced a beautiful design. I too like the lacy holes in the swags. I would not have thought of that but it does give a lighter look and lets you focus on the clef and flowers
ReplyDeleteAH, the process and design - love how you work and share - this has been like birthing a baby!
ReplyDeleteI was at the store the other day looking at fusibles..and there were like a TON of them!! I was lost. I've never used fusible before, so I left the store with none. What kind of fusible do you use?

Absolutely gorgeous! I know there is a lot of stitching to be done but I can't wait to see this quilt finished. The holes in the swags really are darling.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic. Love the holes in the swags. Question, how tall is that big, bold clef? It really does stand out strongly. Have really enjoyed following your process and can't wait to see the whole picture of the finished quilt.
