I have finished doing the FMQ on the center of my OBW (One Block Wonder quilt), as well as the 1" inner border. As I was watching this week's Goldilocks video, I was thinking this might be an excellent choice for my 3" border. The photo below shows a sample of Goldilocks stitched on the actual border fabric of the quilt, with turquoise Isacord thread, as there is a lot of turquoise in the body of the quilt.
You can see the pieced top here and some of the quilting here.

Wednesday night I got brave and started stitching this design on the real border. I finished binding it last night, and it just needs a label. It was not easy to do in a 3" border, as the stippling is very small; it's harder to wiggle smoothly!
I love this effect with the colors you have used!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching looks great and I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteLove the turquoise thread! Your quilting looks wonderful and the effect with the colors is awesome! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks awesome, and it seems just perfect to complement the quilt top.
ReplyDeleteWell, Ditto what everyone else has said. That turquoise thread rocks on that purple!!!!! I hope you don't mind if I steal that idea. I generally have purple in just about anything I make as it is my very favorite color, and I definitely plan on using some turquoise thread in the future. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! I have now finished the actual border with Goldilocks. I am happy that I dared to use contrasting thread. It made me be more careful, and I am pleased with the result. I will post another pic once it's bound.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting, love your colors, daring and gorgeous! Happy stitching and hugs from Germany, Bobbi
