Borders

I have finished sewing the scallops and the borders have been attached. It is bright and fresh and so very scrappy. I used the English Paper Pieceing method and I can now say been there, done that and I won't be in a hurry to return. For me there are better ways to piece. The pattern was well written with clear instruction on how to make each shape and complete the quilt.

This is the start of something new. I have had the Trailing Vines button on my blog for a while now and I have finally made a start. This will be a long time project as this is just the first strip of eleven and the first two branches of 7 on each strip which is 80" long. You can download the pattern for this quilt from the Quiltsalott blog. Janet is drawing up the pattern for it.

The original quilt was made in lighter green vines and pink and lemon leaves. I

have a reason for making mine in these colour which I will talk about later.

I have found it is the perfect project to have while I watch the Australian Open.
