This is a photo of a quilt top in progress on my design wall (which is in a room that doubles as a guest room!). I got the pattern from a blog by AmandaJean called CrazyMomQuilts (http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/). I'm making this quilt for my niece, who's getting married at the end of May, and who loves red, orange and yellow. I chose this pattern partly because of the name: The Future Looks So Bright. Seemed like the perfect pattern for a wedding quilt! The quilt is a little bit small now, and I want to add borders to make it larger, and give it a different look. Only I can't decide whether to add more of the white background first, to make the squares look like they are "floating" or just start adding borders to the top as it is.
I couldn't find my camera, so I took this photo with my iPhone. I will try to find my real camera before I post any more photos!
What if...you added more of the small dark/light four patches to the sides, except use the back ground light. They would meet the border. The top and bottom could float with plain, running to the border.
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends on how much bigger you want it.
Does that make sense??
I discovered you were a no-reply commenter....so thanks for liking my quilt!!!!
Thanks for the idea Joe. I'm going to try to work it out this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a no-reply commenter? I'm new at this. Should I change something in my settings?
When I went to reply to your comment, the address is noreply. I am not much better at knowing things. I have heard people talk of it and there is something you change if you comment at say...joe tulips....and you would like to hear from me directly. There are different ways....like I see you replied in your comments and it only took 4 days for me to figure that out. I rarely comment in my own comments.
ReplyDeleteIf you hit "reply" you should be able to send email, cause my address will be hotmail account.
