What I’m Working On….

I have a wedding quilt in the make.  Remember these notes from a week or so ago?

Ambers-Wedding-Quilt-1

I had told you I was working on a quilt…I was.  I didn’t let it sit very long.  I had these cut out in no time….

Ambers-Wedding-Quilt-2

I sewed a lot over the weekend and got all the blocks made.

I even got the center finished…but now I’m busy deciding on borders.  Sadly, I’m not showing the whole quilt.  I want to keep it under wraps a bit…but what’s a girl to do when it’s a gift quilt?  Do I add that last outer white-ish border?Ambers-Wedding-Quilt-4

I’m leaning towards yes.

So far, I’m really happy with this quilt.  It was not challenging which is always nice if I am chasing a deadline.  I’m plenty okay with time as of now…the wedding isn’t until July June 22nd.

I am already debating about the quilting and don’t have a clue about that…any suggestions?  The quilt suppose to have more of a modern feel and neutral like the vintage farmhouse look.  That puts me at a loss.  I’m wondering if straight lines might be best.

  1. I think the light outside border looks good. Also, straight lines sounds good. Did you mean the wedding is July 22nd because June 22 is past. The quilt looks very pretty.

  2. I think the addition of the white border is good. Definitely straight lines for a modern finish. Maybe a Greek key design to sort of enhance the design? I’m sure it will look fab whatever you decide.

    Normally I like a dark frame around a quilt. But on this one a light border should make all your dark pieces float. Which ever border you choose will be good. Quilting? keep it simple and uniform in size

  4. The white is nice. I say yes to straight lines. I myself am not a fan of overly quilted quilts. I don’t like the feel of them. Simple straight lines that aren’t dense would be nice. Simple is always best, lets the fabrics shine. It will be a great gift ;c)

  5. I love the way your quilt looks! (I can imagine the finished project.They are going to love it!!! Straight lines always work, but I saw something with a more modern feel just today. It looks fairly simple and might fit the bill. I am including a link for you to see what you think.

    Whatever you decide to do, it will look awesome!
