Playing around with the "bonus" blocks, I noticed that they might make a very pretty scalloped border. I don't know if I'll get enough blocks to go all the way around this quilt, but I thought I'd share the idea anyway.
This photo appeared in the local newspaper this past week. The three ladies on the left are quilty friends Pat, Beth and Jacqui. We belong to a local quilting group, and this spring we made lap-sized quilts to be given to patients at the new chemo unit at the local hospital. I'm not in the photo, but my quilt is! It's the one on the left, which Pat is holding up. I assume the four ladies on the left are nurses and/or support staff in the unit.
Can you stand one more cute kitten photo? Hubby took off his socks after work today, and that darn cat POUNCED on them! He's quite the sportsman, our wee tiger.

ReplyDeleteI love your new design idea. Your kitten is darling, but I can see that he will keep you all on your toes. I also loved the quilt you donated.

Love the border ,it looks great with the stars .
ReplyDeleteVery nice idea, to use the bonus blocks to create motion in the border!
ReplyDeleteLove the border of HST's. If you don't have enough to go around the whole quilt maybe you could put them in just the cornors. Just a suggestion.
ReplyDeleteI really like using the triangles for the border--it looks great!
ReplyDeleteWonderful border idea! And brave kitty to attack socks fresh off hubby's feet - eewww!
