I'm much happier with this arrangement. Even though it's not how the original quilt is put together, I really like how the narrow inner border defines the edge of the pieced blocks. I also like how it tamed the problem of all the bumpy seam intersections between the main body of the quilt and the zig-zags. There are only two further zig-zag sides to put on, and then it's the final wide border, which is the same fabric as the sashing strips and the narrow inner border.So happy with how this is progressing, I'm really on the home stretch :-)
I think it looks better with the narrow inner border.
ReplyDeleteOooo! I LOVE your solution! I think that skinny little border really sets off the half blocks around the edge and gives them distinction.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be simply stunning! Do you get to keep it??
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
great solution,it looks like it belongs there.
ReplyDeleteWOW and so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful as does the entire quilt!

ReplyDeleteOH! How proud you must be...it is beautiful and a testament to your skill and perserverence...you've inspired me! Charlene in Texas.
ReplyDeleteLove how that turned out with the smaller border first. And the white around each block just makes those blocks stand out. Course I'm partial to white..I love it in quilts. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI really like the narrow inner border. It adds so much to the quilt, and it looks more finished. Great idea.
ReplyDeletePerfect... the perfect solution! The inner border looks great!
ReplyDeleteMy word - STUNNING! I say it again, you are gifted with color/value choices!
ReplyDeletePerfect. It looks so much better, even on a little bloggy picture.
ReplyDeleteVERY NICE- looks wonderful! SUPER!
ReplyDeleteWOW! It's just stunning! What a job you've done! All those tiny pieces!
ReplyDeleteHave a great and creative weekend,

That narrow border does the trick. Without it, there was a blur between the zigzag and some of the blocks. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

That looks fabuloso Tara! And the fact that it is not in the original is not a problem, in fact, given the pattern problems, it probably should have been!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent!!

ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was a pain to take the borders off but it looks great now!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely a positive addition; super lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have been out of touch for a few days, and have come in on the end of this, but WOW!!! its just fabulous as I keep saying. The tiny border works well. Love the ZigZag also. You have a talent for great colour choices

Well done!
