Butterfly Quilt-UPDATED All Finished

Post by apolta » Mon Apr 14, 2008 8:39 am

All Done... whatcha think? Just don't look to closely at the quilting... it was my first time straying from the normal meander or in the ditch! Way out of my comfort zone...
Cheers!

It looks great!

If I were you, and wanted to make it bigger, I think I would consider adding a snail's trail border...

Not necessarily in these colors though. Probably in the background fabric plus which ever color you want to highlight...

But, that would of course mean quite a bit of extra work... :-)

It is a very pretty quilt. I like butterflies!

Since you asked for suggestions on how to make it larger I am not sure if it would help much but you could add a dark blue border.

Thanks guys... I love your ideas... I knew I count on my forum friends... I love the snail trail idea but not sure if I am up for the task... but I did feel it needed more color around the plain background border... I will post an update when I fix it... Thanks again guys!

Cheers!

Really cute! I really like your pieced border. I'm going to have to try that sometime. I like it as is, but I'm anxious to see what you're going to do to it. :)
