Quilt along, part four!!

 Hi Everyone!!  I have been working on Lori and Randy's quilt along quilt from Humble Quilts and the Barrister's Block blogs.  Please click on their blog names to see their terrific quilts, and see all the instructions to make your own!!  It is such great fun!!  Really the most fun I have had in a long time. I send big thanks to these ladies for sharing their talent and time.   I made the final border based on Lori's idea, but added my own little things too.  That is fun...the designing part!!  Lori once gave me some great advice...make the border of your quilt have some elements of the center of the quilt.  Her quilt reflects that advice, and I used the same patterns that she did for the center, just kind of free wheeled the vine and flowers.  I loved doing this!!  I don't know what the center top will have yet...something...but what??

 A closer view of the corner tulips.  Of course, nothing is stitched down yet...the stitching is the fun part, LOL!!  I tried to use the bias tape maker, but the one I have is very small, so I just took an inch wide strip of green fabric cut on the bias and pressed the edges to the middle of the strip for my vine.

Kathy Schmitz!!  She is such a fun designer...so much fun!!!  I love her stitchery patterns, and am just starting stitching these monthly patterns.  Here is the July pattern.  This finishes at 14x12.  Now the question for you...should I make these into monthly little quilts, or come up with something to make all of the little quilts into one big one??


I love hearing from you!!  Lots of brains out there, and so many good ideas!!


Have a great day, everyone!!!
