This is what I have done so far. However I may not have enough fabric to complete the bottom border. I want to make it bigger so it's possible I can come up with something else to put there.
Any suggestions? Some of you asked me what the pattern was and it's from A Galaxy of Stars, Starry Path - Month 6 (block of the month) by Jinny Beyer Palette, Basic Realities 1999. I shrunk it down to 72% and this was a paper piecing project. I used June Tailor's Foundation Paper and a very small stitch as recommended. However, it was difficult to pull off and I am a little reluctant to do another project with either this foundation paper or paper piecing in general. This block only had 16 pieces so I can only imagine if I were to have done one of the star blocks in a book I have with nearly 142 pieces per block! This is my own creation so it was a little frustrating not to have the back up of a pattern to follow. It's not fancy, but I just wanted to make something patriotic since the anniversary of 9/11 is approaching. I nearly lost my best friend during this time so I am grateful he made it out of the 2nd tower alive. What would you put towards the bottom of this quilt? What would you add to the bottom of this quilt? [ATTACH=CONFIG]99338[/ATTACH] |
Wow...very nice! I can't offer help in what to do , but very nice quilt!

I really hope you have enough fabric to complete the border. It looks perfect so far!

What about a plain red, white or blue strip and applique on some stars, or the words "God Bless America" or something patriotic that you like?

This sound like a great idea!
I like this suggestion if you don't have enough fabric to finish, but I'd move the top border to the bottom and have the writing on the top border!!![/quote] |
OMG I love it!!

If it were me and I didn't have enough of that same fabric to do the bottom, then I would take the top border off and do borders on the top and bottom that match. It would then look like it was planned for the top/bottom borders to be different from the side borders.
