Better and Border

Thank you for all of your kind and supportive comments. Unfortunately, my attempts to reply via e-mail were met with a distinct grinding of the computer gears so to speak. But please note that I truly appreciate those who took the time to write.

On a lighter note, the repairs have been made and borders applied. As you can see, I found these cheerful cherries in my stash. A perfect accompaniment to the quilt's name of Humble Pie.

It turned out to be a wonderful size. Just perfect for snuggling under in front of the fireplace. I had great fun digging through my stash of brights, something I don't get to do often enough. The light squares were all made from 5 different tone on tone muslin pieces that I had on hand. They blended well together, don't you think? This is one of those project ideas that you could do 5 variations of and never get bored with the possibilities. Now see what you started Bonnie!

Until then, keep stitchin' . . . . .

I like very much your choice for the border fabric, and the result is very "happy".

Love the colors, and although it looked nice before, with the fix and the boarder it’s perfect.

Cher said...

oh, you fixed it...well, it certainly looks great this way too!

Pam said...

It looks great!! How many blocks did you need to change to fix it? I am trying to roll my computer screen up and down to compare but I am having difficulty - LOL

Hey San, a really great finish to a great looking quilt *VBS* It's a crowd pleaser for sure!
Everything you used looks just like it was designed for that particular quilt. Congratulation on a speed 'do'. Hugs, Finn
