I just couldn't wait one moment longer to share the top of the mini quilt with you. Please forgive the quality of the picture. Maybe I should have opened the blinds to eliminate the striated effect?? *s*I've just washed the quilt, so I've laid it out to dry in the lounge. I normally wouldn't wash the entire quilt at this stage, but when I spritzed the blue washout marker away last night, a little section of the pink bled. Don't you hate it when that happens? Even after testing a snippet of the fabric! Anyway, all is now well, and when the quilt has dried off I'll give it a good press.
I finished the scallop border section last night, at 1o minutes to midnight. I just couldn't go to bed knowing that the top was so close to being finished. I'm really pleased with the way it looks, and thank you for helping me with the colour placement. I had originally thought to use the green as the sashing strips, and the pink for the outer border, but I feel like this way looks better ... good thinking girls!
When I have one, I'll share a better picture. *happy dancing*
Diagonal stripes certainly add an unexpected element. Just kidding. I love the scalloped border! So glad the pink bleed came out. How awful to have that happen. The quilt is beautiful. I love the previous minis, etc. Log cabins are great and you used them in clever ways.
ReplyDeletethe scallop border really adds to the already very cute quilt :-) And I think the pink and green worked out well -- the green has enough variation in it to not overpower the delicate middle... Glad you were able to capture all the dye.
ReplyDeletethis turned out fantastic! it's just too sweet...you are a very clever quilter.
ReplyDeleteso happy to hear you got that bleeding red/pink out!
Yippee!! Congrats, Tazzie! I love the scalloped border.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking fabulous! I love that scalloped border!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt - I was so surprised to see the scalloped border but I love it. Stunning, simply stunning!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty of a quilt. I really love it.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt topp looks beautiful Tazzie :-)
ReplyDeleteYou must be looking forward to the finished quilt. The colour placements are perfect.
It looks fabulous Tazzie - well done! I'm not surprised you are doing the happy dance.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt got wonderful. Using the pink as sashing was correct. And the green border completes it. Makin a scallop border is beautiful. Do you have a template for that or do you just draw it yourself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a little beauty - you are so clever. The scalloped border is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love it. The scapped border really sets it off.
ReplyDeletestunning work, Tazzie!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, that is turning out beautifully! Did you tell us the size?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the scalloped border is a hit - I came on to say how nice it was too but I see that lots have said it before me. It is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteHappy Dancing for you, Tazzie--it looks wonderful in spite of the picture quality.
ReplyDeletethis is really lovely - nice work and thanks for sharing

Just love the scalloped border. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh Tazzie - that is absolutely gorgeous! I'd be "ecstatic dancing" if I produced something like that. Great job and definitely worthy of a ribbon. I am so enjoying reading about your miniatures, what a talent you have and you're a great source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Tazzie! What are the finished dimensions? I can't imagine how tiny the appliqué pieces must be.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out absolutely wonderful. The border is great looking. You did a wonderful job.
