Round one directions were given out on January 15th. This is through a group of quilters that I chat/hang out with/love! at Pat Sloan's Quilt Mashup.
We needed to use some scraps from the block and could set our block on point or add a plain border that could be big enough for embroidery and/or applique.
On point wasn't going to look right with this block!
I added a really wide border - 6.5 inches wide - not necessarily for some big applique but simply to grow this quilt. There will only be 6 rounds. Now, I could add both border options each round, but that might not happen. I also had quite a chunk of the green fabric so I decided to use it up now - I still have a little bit left.
Ideas are stewing - to add applique or not?
We'll see. I've had a few ideas pop in my head when I glance up at this on my design wall.
Report cards are calling my name! Gotta go do some more teacher stuff.
My reward will be a weekend where I can really focus on my quilting list.
With Joy,

Love the green fabric and the scrappy churn dash. I'd wait to appliqué until after the next round and you know what colours you're going to use - but that's just me. Can't wait to see what you do each round with this project.
ReplyDeleteThe green dots are great. I need to get my borders on. I can't turn on point either. I am thinking on some options for the border.
