Border for Wedding Rings Quilt

Lilysmom — Sat, 31 Mar 2018 20:00:22 GMT

I was up early this morning, got my swim in, and headed to a fabric store to buy material to use in the border for my quilt. Should have done this before I started the quilt in late Fall but better late than never.

After looking at many different options, I settled on a beautiful Batik dusty rose.

Apologies in advance. The quilt is not pressed and neither is the new fabric. What do you think?

The quilt...

Batik border

Together...

The border will be two inches all around. @Kachina624, I was thinking about you when I was looking.

Have to get cracking on this because the garden is starting to beckon! LM

@Lilysmom I love the fabric in the main part of the quilt and the border print is perfect. You have talent and a good eye for color. It is well balanced and beautiful.

i can’t wait to see it when it is finished.

@Lilysmom It’s beautiful and great choice for the border.

Great choice! That border fabric makes the fabric in the quilt "pop".

I'm now working on two quilts for my twin gd 3rd birthday. However, these have just basic solid borders - easy peazy. Just finished a quilt for their sister's 6th bday which is at the longarmer.

@Lilysmom. I love, love, love that border fabric. What a beautiful quilt this will be. I'd use it as a bedspread for sure. Make some shams from the border fabric. Your choice of colors is outstanding.

I noticed you said you'd been swimming....isnt the lake water still very cold? Brrrrr, I got chilled just thinking about it.

@grandma2pkmh, hehe. Until I found the border, I wasn’t sure what I would do with this quilt. I think I might keep this one. LM

@riley1, the children’s quilts are always fun aren’t they? So much color, animals, dolls. LM

@Kachina624, we must have had a dozen bolts of cloth pulled. I went down in the back and found the Batik. It was the best color match for sure.

I am swimming at the Canada Games Pool. Can’t wait til I can swim the lake but it will be awhile yet. We still have some snow in the yard. LM

Holy cow! How did I miss this post until today?

That is beautiful! I love the border the quilt and the entire look.

I'm so amazed at the talent of people who can quilt like this. All those pieces and everything has to be done so perfectly.

I'm always willing to pay a lot of money for a truly hand done pieced quilt, as it is such a huge labor and undertaking.

Amazed in love, and envious!

@Lilysmom - are you going to scallop the border or square it off?
