All done! I told you yesterday that it only needed 2 simple borders to finish it off. The amazing thing about this quilt is that I have no recipient in mind. It does seem masculine but then again I personally love blue and brown together! I usually do not make quilts without a person in mind for the quilt as a gift. I just loved the pattern so much that I jumped up and made it.I feel real positive that when you are making something for someone you think good thoughts all while creating the object. Thus infusing it with your love/regard for the person.
The border came from my stash. Old, old, old...so old that I know I washed and starched it before folding it away years ago. And I sure made a mess digging it out of it's stack when I spyed the corner of it. It has the blues and tans that are in the blocks. It is perfect. All the selvedge says is "The Alexander Henry Collection" with a copywright sign, no year or design #.The measurement of this quilt is 70"X 85". Perfect for my home quilting frame set-up.
I've said it before - it's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI want to be like you when I grow up to be a quilter! This is just beautiful. I love everything about it- the colors are perfection together. Ya did good! and you got a UFO done!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful pattern! I think a block by itself would make a very nice mini quilt also and I am gonna save a photo into my "inspiration" folder ;) if you don't mind.
