As soon as a quilt get spread out on the floor, Lizzie is right there to help with the final inspection. Both borders are on and the back got partially pieced before pizza showed up for dinner. Sunday is usually pizza night, but we postponed it in honor of the three day weekend.
After the pizza was safely away, I pulled out the broken dishes quilt to take a few more stitches. Even though all the center blocks aren't quite done, I cheated and got a start on the borders. I got quite a bit done while we enjoyed Alice Through the Looking Glass as a family.
It is a gorgeous quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteThats a nice border design
ReplyDeletelove the colours you have chosen for the border, brings it all together beautifully! this one is on my to do list...I have loads of scraps that would look great in this....thank you for a beautiful design and inspiration
ReplyDeleteYour border sparkles without stealing the show. Great call on the border's colours. Beautiful! ;^)
ReplyDeleteGood choice on the OMG borders. I knew you'd find the perfect combo.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour you chose for the border - perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe design you chose for your broken dishes border looks good and so do your stitches I might add!
I love your border choices.
ReplyDeleteAll the reviews I read for Alice Through the Looking Glass were terrible. (even the "common man" reviews) But I enjoyed it also. It wasn't the best ever, but it was still fun.
Good thinking on pulling the color from the center out to the outer border. That works well.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the narrow inner border and then the wider outside one! The whole quilt really is gorgeous, Angela!
ReplyDeleteSure is nice to have a 'helper'! I think she's given her stamp of approval, lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's a timeless beauty! Getting harder to top these every year, I say.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have border patrols ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful and the borders do it justice. I can imagine how difficult it was to get just the right colour for the border on this one
ReplyDeleteThe border colors are perfect! It is so much closer to getting in the binding pile.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. The border is perfect to set off all those glorious colors.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing you have Lizzy to protect your work!
Whenever possible, I take my quilt tops to a retreat, and have my guild members help with Border Control. There are a couple of them who are so much better than I are at it. My dogs would be of no help. And unlike your pug, they'd mess up the top getting on it. It would no longer be spread out so neatly after they decided to walk or sit on it!
ReplyDeleteLizzie so such a well trained quilty dog!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt design on the border!
The pink and teal borders are perfect. You made lots of progress last week.
