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.
How did you do this week?

That border looks just right for the bouquet.
The blue really picks up the ribbon in the block. It’s going to be a beautiful finish.
What a good border choice for such a pretty applique block.

I used to think things out best when I was weeding my flower bed. Maybe it was because I finally had peace and quiet (the kids were young then) or maybe it was the monotony, but it worked. I like your block; good border choice too. My overall week is really a 0 too. I bought and used a yard of fabric. My other numbers come from unpacking fabric.
