Borders Times Two.
Posted on | October 10, 2011 | 7 Comments
My machine has decided to play funny games and as a result is waiting at my LQS for some maintenance. This means I am now using a very old and basic machine until mine returns. I can straight stitch and zig zag, but no FMQ or even stitch in the ditch. Oh dear!
I have been able to add the borders to my Garden Maze quilt.
I had a lot of blocks left over because I didn’t add as many rows to the quilt as the pattern directed. So I made a smaller lap quilt.
Apart from size. the only variation is in the borders.
These will now have to wait until my machine returns. I do hope it is nothing major!!
The blue and black together with the other colors are stunning! I love it! :) Hope your sewing machine returns home soon and doesn’t end up as mine; the ‘service’ took 2 months!!!
Hi Karen, I love the blue and black colours, they are a good team, and has made the blocks really stand out. Great work. Hugs, Anita.
Those are two very striking quilts. Hope you get your main machine back soon. It’s no fun going back to basics when you’ve become accustomed to all the bells and whistles.
Very cool, you over-achiever making 2 quilts!!!
What a stunning quilt! It makes me smile!
Wow I just love these quilts!! The colours are electric!! I really like the border in the first quilt, it’s a bit different and works so well!! The second border is so striking too!! Hope your machine is fixed soon!!
Karen this quilt is amazing well done,hope all is well with your machine
