No fabric in or out this week. Because I started all new projects at the beginning of the year it will take time to see a finish.
I’m focusing on projects that are part of monthly goal challenges. This week I finished the applique on the bouquet quilt and wanted to start the pieced borders. The block size needed adjusted and I had to find the EQ file.
I planned to do that yesterday afternoon, but I wanted to get the kitchen clean first. Some of my best insights come when I’m cleaning the kitchen. So I’m putting dishes away and realize the border I designed years ago doesn’t work at all. It’s too wide for the quilt. That’s OK, I can make it narrower.
It’s still too wide. I mocked it up and it was also too busy. Then I did some research in a quilt book on borders and in Google images. I saw some ideas that might work and mocked those up. Here’s what I decided to do, still in the audition phase.
Sometimes simple is better. The goal is to keep moving forward.
