I am absolutely delighted with how this turned out. And it occurred to me last night that this is my own design - - no pattern. I am responsible for all of the idiosyncrasies - for example, take note of the 1/2" black strip just inside the final pieced border.
Let me explain - I had intended the hourglass blocks to be 6" finished, but cut them wrong, and ended up 5" finished. I needed to add only 1" , although I probably could have eased the final border in, but went ahead and added the 1/2" to ensure that the final border lay straight, without any ruffling.
The blocks in the centre were created according to the instructions on this tutorial.

I love it, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Very kind of Mr Nancy-Rose to hold it up for you (I can see his tummy.) The last very narrow border adds definition to the pieced borders which might be overwhelmed without it.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...I LOVE IT!!!!
