My humble Split 9-Patch has taken on a beautiful appearance. It's hard to even find the original block, isn't it?
Both I and DH are amazed at how those little triangles in the border improved a somewhat ho-hum scrap quilt! Even though my border triangles are not sharp due to the method I used to add them, I'm very happy with the end result. Again, all fabric except the last blue border was taken from my scrap box of 2 1/2 inch strips.
Look at my luck with this backing fabric I already had.
The original inspiration came from Quiltville.com, in her February post. Thanks Bonnie!
Now, on to the basting -- my least favorite part, but getting to the quilting, my very favorite part!!!
Elaine it looks fabulous! Great job.
ReplyDeleteElaine, I agree, it's fabulous. The way you added the border triangles were very creative.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great border! It really is magic how it changes the appearance of the quilt top!
ReplyDeleteI have been cutting 2 and a half inch strips all day, trying to bust some stash and hoping for inspiration. You just gave me some. It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove it, very pretty Elaine.
