... on going doolally. Why? Well, adding borders to a top is my least favourite part of the whole quiltmaking process.
Yesterday I bordered the Christmas Wreath quilt
and put the first border on Friendship Chains. Today I took that border off and replaced it with a different one,
then I bordered my Drunkards' Path top (I really must think of a name for that quilt), pressed them all, and here they are. By the way. please ignore the fact that they all look a bit wrinkled. That's cos my knees really did not want me to crawl around the floor smoothing the tops out.
I think my next quilt will be borderless!
Just posted my Christmas Star Trip flimsie. Guess what? It's borderless!!
ReplyDeleteI think the name should be "Mince Pie". All those circles and partial circles look like someone ate a quarter of the pie and left the rest. "Mince" because of the colors.
You sure got alot done yesterday...love them all!
ReplyDeleteI just finished a snails trail also borderless!
ReplyDeleteLove your drunkards path! :)
Gorgeous quilts...and yes, I have noticed a lot of borderless quilts in blogland and they are wonderful!! More dramatic!

Three quilt tops in the same post? That's a big accomplishment in my book. And they are beautiful designs.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful, but I really like the Friendship Chains. I'm not found of a lot of borders or wide borders. Mostly borderless or go with a scrap square or favorite - piano key.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have a small top that is ready for borders - I guess I shouldn't be planning to send it to you to finish? LOL! I'm not particulary fond of doing borders either.
ReplyDeleteI really like how your quilts look with the borders. I always feel like the borders are like a frame and sets off the quilt. Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteGreat work. I think the Drunkards' Path is my favorite! Looks like someone threw a rock in a pond and the waves are rippling away
ReplyDeleteWow..you got a lot done..why did you take one of the borders off and replace it? Is the picture the replaced one already? I love all your quilts and borders..they look fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Look at all you got done!! I wasn't home from vacation in time to participate yesterday, but I am going to try to do my quiltalong this evening! I HATE when I miss out!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, now you have me wanting to do a friendship chain. I love it!
ReplyDeleteAll gorgeous!! You are in the home stretch now!! :-)
ReplyDeleteDoolally....I haven't heard that word before. If it's any consolation your quilts look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThey all look great!
ReplyDeleteI am with you, I love piecing a quilt, but it stalls seriously when I get to the borders. Borderless quilts are great! Carline
