Before I start, I just want to say a HUGE thank you to those of you who have answered my questions. As you know, I am a complete beginner and am more or less teaching myself, so I have lots and lots of questions.
On my last blog post, I asked why I need to measure borders and not just attach them and then cut to size. Thank you for all your replies, but I still don't get it. You say that it keeps the blocks square. How? Let's say the quilt is slightly bigger at the top than at the bottom. Do you have to physically make the quilt fit?
I'm going to move on and show you a charm quilt I've started. Be warned, this is photo heavy! I bought this gorgeous charm pack.
So I've made a start and sewn the charms into blocks of 4.
I'm quite excited that I now have Works in Progress (WIPs). Yay me!!!
That's it for today.

These are lovely will make a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours! Borders could be any of these colours but I'd be tempted to start with a thin border of the dark blue followed by a wider one in one of the brighter colours. Look forward to seeing it when it's done!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to make a suggestion without seeing the pattern but I think I would try an off white or white, especially since it is a baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the color combinations....Can't wait to see the finished product!
