I finished quilting the inner border of the Maroon Baby quilt.
The motifs are smaller so I think I could more easily make them work along the border. I am seriously thinking of just stitching piano keys or taking a plate and making my own baptist fan type of stencil along the border. I am a former math teacher so that wouldn't be a problem, but then I would have to figure out something for the corner stones.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

ReplyDeleteYou have so much talent, have fun.
Great job on the quilting so far!!! I am not a very experienced hand quilter so I am not much use to you for this border pattern. Perhaps some of the experienced hand quilters will be able to help you. Enjoy your day! Gail at the Cozy Quilter
ReplyDeleteI think Baptist fan always makes a great border. I would add the fans in the cornerstones. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYour hand quilting is beautiful. I LOVE quilt math too. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is looking lovely, sorry I can't help you with the border pattern, good luck!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is gorgeous. Can't wait to see how you finish it!
ReplyDeleteHello Cathie: It is a beauty of a quilt, not sure what I would do about the border, I hope it works out for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is always a pleasure to see what you are working on.

Great hand quilting, I’ve no idea what to put in the borders but I like the idea of using a plate to form a pattern! I’ve just seen the photo of your gorgeous granddaughter and the beautiful birth announcement!
ReplyDeleteI will figure that border out. I am glad you like the birth announcement.
DeleteLovely work on your quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSo pretty! Pinterest is always a good source of ideas for me.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea! Thank you.
DeleteI have no suggestions because I only hand quilt once in a blue moon. I get ideas off of Pinterest too. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLove want you have quilted so far, Pinterest definitely has ideas to get you going.
ReplyDeleteI did find some ideas on Pinterest, then I made up my own pattern. Thanks for visiting, Cathie
DeleteI love the muted colors of this quilt, it looks so little house on the prairie to me. remind me - it's for a girl? I might try free hand hearts and it wouldn't matter if they weren't all symmetrical, it would give it that old time prairie feel :)
ReplyDeleteThis quilt has no recipient. My mother hand pieced it and then didn't like it. I decided to hand quilt it. I will use it as a quilt when my granddaughter and any future grandchildren visit. I like the idea of hearts. I looked online and found some other ideas too. I might add diamonds. But hearts.....hmmm.
Deleteso so so Beautiful!!
