Almost There

Oh gosh, I am almost finished with my Moda BlockHeads 1 sew-along quilt and I am sorry to see it come to an end.  As you see, I have completed the central appliqued block and have about two-thirds of the rows sewn together with lattices.  I am thinking the quilt needs a border, and am trying to find some of Kansas Troubles larger prints to audition.  Kansas troubles mostly does small prints though, so my choices are kind of limited. 

I also have some flying geese cruising around in the back of my mind that could figure in somewhere.  Clearly this is going to need more thought.  Maybe I am not so close to being finished as I first imagined….

All in all, so far, I am pretty pleased with the results.

  7. Yeah the center block is sooo perfect!! What if you doodle and experiment with maybe adding a border with a vine. Even if only on two corners, or four opposite corners. It would tie in the center block. Also, just thinking, then it would be easy to stick with the Kansas Troubles fabrics.

  13. OH My Goodness! You get a gold star Nicole. Your blocks are awesome! I do like the idea of appliqué vines and leaves around the border. I think that would really look good myself.
