I have had my blocks all put together for the BOW laying on my table for a week trying to decide the border application…i know i thought i had it figured out, but when I auditioned the fabrics…it did nothing for it. The quilt has so much going on that I have made the decision it needs just a simple finishing application. I am figuring that Florence came to the same conclusions because she used a simple border with some brodre purse applique…(i know I probably spelled that wrong…but I am too lazy to look it up and spell check doesn’t know what i am talking about) on her little quilt. Her large quilt she just set it on point and bound the jagged nine patches, using to setting triangles. Good news is..there is no more applique and the price will be minimal. If you want to do the setting I originally planned, you can figure it out by looking at the rough draft I have sent. I loved what I planned but it goes to show that it doesn’t always work out the way you design it to. That is why I don’t like to give you a hint as to how it is going to look because I seem to always alter it. Anyway…here is what it is looking like as of now…I picked a red binding to go on. I have oversized my border to leave me a little more room for quilting it and then I will trim it back a little..hope you like it….
PS. I promise I will start to show the progress on “the gathering” retreat house…today I will take some more updated photos..
