Originally I was going to go straight onto the border of my practice quilt to give that a go, however, I thought I better try this out first to see whether this worked for me and also to get a sense of how tight this was going to be.
This is the approximate size of my border. The stitching is very rough on my sample, however it did give me a good idea on how this was going to work in the border. I do not find it too tight but am not sure I would want it across the entire border. Not sure whether it was just me but I did a lot of backtracking. Also tried the lines as fillers...this I saw at Pat's from Colour Me Quilty. I thought that was a brilliant idea and looked great and was a quick way to fill in the gaps.
Maybe I should combine 2 -3 different fillers across the border...hmm...undecided.
Ran out of time to do anything else.
Until next time

Nice job! I haven't tried it yet. Maybe when I get home!
ReplyDeleteWas struggling myself this week...lots going on
DeleteOh, I like it with both the paisley and Pat's lines. Makes a very interesting texture! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteAgree, very interesting design. When I get a bit more time, I will try it out on one of the borders
DeleteI like it with both the lines and the paisley. Jeanne's right, great texture.
ReplyDeleteYes, this design is really versatile...you could really quilt anything you fancy within those gaps. Very clever
ReplyDeleteNice job on the border practice - had not thought of using the design that way, but it works really well. Love the lines. I am currently working on a quilt where I think that would be the perfect design choice!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your practice piece, I thought it was very interesting. It reminded me of a bas relief that you might see in architecture ;) Very lovely.
