Here it is with the first border sewn on. The next border will be light scraps, with the remaining 8 bonus HST's sewn in somehow, and then maybe a final dark border. Instead of sleeping last night, I came up with a fun idea to add more orange (most of the orange fabric is used up).
I am off to my medieval torture appointment at the orthodontist this morning - rewiring of the braces. OMG I can't believe I did this to myself!
medieval torture--that made me laugh!! Its fun to see what you've been sewing. Handwork--sometimes I'll do it--but haven't attempted any hand quilting for a long time. No hand strength anymore.
ReplyDeleteI love this plaid quilt. I'm curious now to see how you work more orange into the border.
ReplyDeleteI hope you survive the torture--and when it is all over with I think you will be glad you did it. I know I am even after almost 4 years of the torture! : )
I LOVE plaid quilts but can't make them! It drives me crazy when the plaids aren't perfectly perpendicular. Have you ever seen perfectly perpendicular plaid, it doesn't exist! For some reason, it doesn't bother me when other folks have wonky plaid. I think a little more orange in the border is a great idea! Good Luck with that, and your braces! Advil, take many and take often!
ReplyDeleteLove how you continued the orange into the border area! Hope the orthodontist visit wasn't too awful!
ReplyDeleteI love this plaid quilt and how the orange just seems to make the whole thing dance and "zing"!
ReplyDeleteThe torture will be worth it in the end...take tylenol and eat soft food! Love the orange zing in your plaid quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like what you did to the first border. Can't wait to see the next step.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous quilt with all those plaids.
ReplyDeleteHope the rewiring went well and that you aren't in too much pain...been there, done that..so I sympathise.
