Original block
My original block was one called "Christmas Logs" and was one I had left over from the 2018 Moda Christmas sew-along. I had made errors on cutting this pattern, and it was bigger than the other blocks, so it became an orphan. I love this pattern and the fabrics are some of the first beloved fabrics I bought after I started quilting.
Joy from The Joyful Quilter suggested that the big white center space would be perfect for some applique or embroidery, so I used my Janome for some slightly rough embroidery stitches, as well as a place for the appliqued heart.
White border on left and green border on right
I was inspired by so many other bloggers on this journey, and Sherrie of Food For Thought inspired my last border. The yellow border she sewed on her SAHRR started me thinking about a colored border instead of the white I had, so I changed mine to green and like it so much better.
I have decided to leave the top as it is until closer to Christmas when I will decide whether to make it into a wall hanging, a table topper, or use it as part of a larger quilt. When that time comes I will do a follow-up post.
Great big Thank-Yous to Gail, Anja, Emily, Roseanne and Sue, Wendy, and Chris for your fun and challenging prompts and for all your hard work in pulling off another successful Stay At Home Round Robin. I'm already looking forward to next year!
I'm linking with Quilting Gail for this Parade of Quilts. Take a minute to go see
the beauties linked up by other participants - they are gorgeous!
I am also linking up with Days Filled With Joy for Monday This and That.
A great finish, Linda! Thanks for joining us for SAHRR 2022!
ReplyDeleteI agree on the green border instead of white, Linda - that's perfect! The embroidered star and appliqued heart are also perfect for the center of your quilt. I love how this has turned out!
ReplyDeleteI love this color combination (I say that all the time, don’t I), and the sheer beauty of all of these quilts. I have so much lovely fabric that I wish we lived closer so you could teach me how to do it. Every time I look at my fabric I think, gee, this would make a wonderful quilt, then I put it back in the drawer. LOL!
ReplyDeletebeautiful and so creative.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandy! :)
DeleteCongratulations on a wonderful SAHRR! I love the green border you added. It will be fun to see it again later in the year when you decide what you will do with it.
ReplyDeleteLinda, your SAHRR is fantastic! I love the centre star stitching and heart applique! It really adds to the quilt. I, too, like your green borders!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to the SAHRR parade!
It came out lovely! I love seeing how it changed over time.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks amazing and how fun to see it with 2 different borders. They both are pretty, but I do love the color green . Happy quilting.
