There has been progress this week on the Saturday Sampler quilt. But since there are 4 borders on this quilt, I still have a long ways to go. Border #1 is a simple 2" strip of the background and that is done.
Border #2 contains 48 rectangles, with 1.5" squares on 2 corners and a similar corner stone on each corner. I chose a medium blue with a tiny white flower for those border rectangles. The pieces for these are all cut and one side is actually ready to attach.
Border #3 will be another 2" strip of background. And then . . . I'll have to make a final decision on what to use for the final wide outer border and also for the binding.
I'm so glad I chose 30s prints for this one!
I can’t imagine this quilt in any other fabrics: it was obviously designed for 30s reproduction fabrics. It is gorgeous! The blue border is sure cute.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the fabric too, perfect for your quilt!
ReplyDeleteAnother fun project. The reproduction fabrics are perfect, they really add to the charm and whimsy of the quilt.
