I didn't like the border I put on Kitty Tango (see post below). I had already given it to Ty to quilt and it kept bothering me so a couple of days passed and I called her to see if she had already started. Luckily, she still had another quilt on the machine! We met in the parking lot of Walmart so I could get the quilt back. I went out on a search for a better border fabric and found this black and white kitty paw print. Now I think it looks great!
The other quilt is a Chinese Coin that is about 45" square. It is a stash quilt. I had the stripe used on the quilt back and a light and dark companion fabric in one of my drawers. I wouldn't have picked this unless I wanted to use something I already had. I really didn't like it much but now I think it is perfect for this little quilt.
Even though I haven't posted in a couple of weeks I have been busy. I finished the locker hooked rug. I'll get a picture of that to show you. I put it in the bathroom with the Bluebonnet shower curtain. It looks really nice. Now I am itching to start another one!
Well, there you are - I've been a bit concerned. I've missed you! :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you weren't happy with the initial border on the Kitty Tango quilt and it was nagging you then it's good that you changed it. I love it either way.
The Chinese Coins quilt is great - I've told myself over and over that I'm going to make a one of those and have not. Sigh! LOL
I love the new border on the Kitty Tango quilt. It really makes the top "pop". I also love the Chinese coins. It seems like a great quilt for using up scraps. I think I am going to have to try one of those!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks very good with its new border.
ReplyDeleteYep, you were right. New border is better...a very sweet quilt.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on the change of the border. It kind of calms down the quilt a little and doesn't add too much busy-ness to the border now. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe new border looks better and it sure makes the quilt pop now. I like the layout of the small fussy cut squares scattered about. It's different and adds interest.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these look wonderful- I love the kitty tango quilt colors!
ReplyDeleteYou were right. Kitty Tango's new border is great.
