my pretty precious....

i finished my FootNotes quilt and it's ready for borders. that's where the momentum kinda slows, since i'm wanting to bash some stash i need to see what i have on hand! i'm thinking a really nuclear lime green as an inner border...and to keep with the 'dizzy' visual, i'm thinking some creative piecing in the outer border. that'll help with my lack of yardage of one 'vintage' batik....i was going to use the flying geese that were in the bag with it, but they have a cream 'background' and that doesn't fit with this quilt. i will use them in their very own quilt....

the quilt is kicking butt and taking names! I LOVE IT!!! i want to be buried with this quilt. i would never have thunk that piecing a scrap quilt could be so much fun....now i see the addiction level of this style of piecing! no scraps are safe from my rotary cutter now!

    I too love the sashing, it really sets off the blocks and adds that pazzaz! I love your talent, I wish I came up with ideas like this. Very cool!
