Another quilt top
I found this quilt top in my stash when I was sorting through fabric on the weekend. It was square and fortunately I had cut pieces and scraps of the same fabrics as well. I added a strip of the colourful fabric at the top and then a narrow piece of the wrinkly gray fabric and then at the bottom I added a narrow strip of the colourful fabric and then another of the wrinkly gray fabric. Using the scraps I created pieces that were 3.5" wide and then arranged them into piles so I could evenly distribute the colours and textures into the border that I needed to add all the way around to get the quilt top to be about 35" x 45". I stitched the border pieces to each other and then added a length of the border to each side which worked out really well. I think the quilt looks reasonably balanced the large white areas are pretty much centered. I will now have to find some batting and a backer. I will also investigate if I have enough fabric left to actually create a binding for it. It would be really nice if it coordinated. If not, I will see if I can find a piece of dark green which would work very well for the binding. Very happy to be able to give this little quilt top another chance!!!!!!!! Therese
