Circles and Squares
I'm working on another little quilt now, another really bright one, using mostly scraps and left over bits. All the 4 patches are sashed now and up on the design wall, and I'm ready to begin the border. The little circles are just stuck on, but if I keep them, I think they will be raw edge.

Oh JenClair - I like this one a lot !
ReplyDeleteSo do I. You say the circles are "stuck on." With what? I've never found a fabric glue that withstood laundering.
ReplyDeletehow fun!! I love it - good use of scraps! isn't it amazing what black fabric does. I do this one pieced border that is EASY that might work well if you haven't picked one out already. check out my studio site. the raw edges on the circles is a great idea- will save tons of labor. I finished piecing a baby quilt for my daughter's friend using 100% scraps and left over bits. have to take a pic, you've inspired me to share.....
ReplyDeleteLove this! The circles add that "Je ne sais quoi."
ReplyDeleteThat's real sweet. I just love B&W with splashes of color.
ReplyDeleteA fun & colorful quilt...it's a winner. :)
ReplyDeletezquilts - Thanks! I'm trying not to slip back into the "no quilting" wasteland.
ReplyDeletedianhmow - I just cut them out and put them on the fabric, no glue, to see if I wanted them and where. When I'm ready, I'll use a a glue stick or some fusible and then stitch.
kimy - I love the effect of the black and bright. As for the border, I'm working on a border called "hopscotch" from Dinane Hires' Playtime. Please do share your baby quilt, Kim; your work is so beautiful!
Gerrie - :) Thanks, Gerrie. I never "know what"!
Rian - I have cycles when that B&W / bright combo is all I seem to do. Right now, though, I'm starting to look at a piece of discharged fabric from a couple of summers ago and wondering what I can do with it.
Connie - Thanks!
oh, i love the circles, and you know how fond i am of raw edges......
ReplyDeleteI love it Jenclair! It is so colorful, playful and yet orderly. Good job!
ReplyDeleteLook at you go! This quilt is so cheering to the spirit. I love the ratio of black/white/brights.
ReplyDelete(just got back online and responded to your tag for today's post. It's my third go-around with it in as many weeks!)
Funky and Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! And the circles really make it...just the right number of them, too...This one makes me smile =-)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason this makes me think of those English Licorish candies that my DH likes so much. It's very nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nifty little quilt top you've made since the last time I visited. Love the circles - I defintely think you should keep them!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it needs a pieced border. I think it is great the way it is.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous- love the colors and composition!
