Welcome to my blog. I started quilting a few years ago and decided to record my progress as I quilt. First I'd like to show you the round-robin quilt I just finished with four of my friends.
I made the inside square which extends to the ends of the green cross using 1" strips and 2" squares.
Sue did the first border. The small red squares set on point are called a Seminole border. Sue sent the top on to Wanda who did the wide beige border. She used the machine to add the green vine. She must have cut the narrow strips on the bias to get them to curve so easily.
Wanda send the quilt top to Berte who did the next border. She did very fine paper piecing in the corners. Carol finished the piece by adding the three borders of complementing colors.
When I got the quilt back, I cut out the little flowers from fabric, fused them onto the top, and sewed a zig-zag stitch all around the edges.
I sent the quilt out to be machine quilted. When I got it back, I sewed on the binding. The finished quilt now hangs over a quilt rack in our new guest room.
