Starting the Last Border

The center of Floral Triangles is finished! 

I could reach the straight red narrow border so I stitched in the ditch on both sides of it.


Here are the applique blocks.

Right side half triangle.






Left side half triangle


Left side border.


I've rolled. I can't reach all the way from the right side to the scrappy border on the left.

I will quilt this border in 3 passes.

First I'll quilt the right side scrappy border and stitch in the ditch on both sides.

I'll roll then quilt the center section with the flower/leaf stenciling.

For the final pass, I'll finish the left patchwork and stitch in the ditch along the narrow rows.

I don't know if I'll be able to quilt the whole border in a week or not. 

You'll find out next Sunday!

  11. Your quilting on sweet succotash is gorgeous. As an added beauty, it is hand quilted. I have not begun the quilting on my version of this quilt yet. I am going to follow the quilting by Judi Madsen.

  23. Your quilt is gorgeous! I can't wait to see the completed project. As I was reading your post, I was thinking of how long it has taken you to hand quilt this beauty. Then I thought well at least you are getting it done. So what if it takes a long time to quilt. What about all those quilt tops that sit there in a pile at my house, waiting to be quilted. I could have hand quilted them instead and they would be done!
