I seems like it has been raining for weeks here and it looks like today will be another soggy day. Occasionally we have had a few glimpses of the sun, but they are gone so quickly--more time to stitch!

| Tomorrow (Monday) is the May Stitch Therapy meeting. Since I had all the blocks finished, I wanted to get them all together for the class. The pattern doesn't specify a border--what do you think??? |
 |
| The class "lesson" will be on making these stars. They aren't the same angle as a Tri-Recs, so they are tricky! |

| I'm almost ready to put together a row on How Does Your Garden Grow thanks to all these rainy evenings! Linking to Slow Sunday Stitching HERE |
and WIPs Be Gone
I think I would add a scrappy border using up the leftover pieces. Squares or rectangles or whatever you have left. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love rainy days.. I can stitch guilt-free! I think your rain is coming our way this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt...love the birds! :)
ReplyDeleteMy, my. Another interesting design for a quilt. How long have you been working on this?
ReplyDeleteYes, a scrappy border like the one around the star in the house row. I'd put a 1/2 finished inner border of a dark or gold then the scrappy blocks. Gorgeous! Thanks for linking to WIPs Be Gone!
ReplyDeleteOh and we are already in a drought here on SE CT coast!! Crazy weather! I love that quilt--how can you stay with a project that is that long--I need to slow myself down and just work on what i REALLY want to do....hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteRainy days are perfect for stitiching. Your quilt finish is just wonderful. Will it be a wall hanging or a bed quilt?? Borders....I like Kathy's scrappy idea.
ReplyDeleteRainy days are perfect for stitching! Looks like you used your rainy days to be oh so productive! I can't wait to see what you decide regarding a border for that gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeletePretty quilt. Maybe they'll have some ideas at the class for the borders.
ReplyDeleteI love it! What about a dark green or a dark blue to frame it?
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in that quilt! I agree a scrappy border would look great.
ReplyDeleteI think a scrappy border would be just right for this quilt! It did not rain here so I ended up gardening instead of stitching today...
ReplyDeleteLooks like you made good use of those rainy days.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric selection in your quilt top. I say yes on borders.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks great together. I would definitely go with a border.
ReplyDeleteEven of you had rain it looks like Sunday was agreat day for you! Love you quilt and each block is so unique!
ReplyDeleteI love rainy days because I usually get so much sewing done! I am a fan of borders (a great place to show off lovely quilting) so I would add a narrow inner border to separate the centre from the border and then add the wide border!
ReplyDeleteHello Karen! Your quilt looks fabulous and I don't think it needs a border... it looks lovely as it is! :) x
ReplyDeleteI think whatever you decide will be right for you, it is lovely and you inspire me to make one of my own. One thing I might do is a scrappy binding might be interesting.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do and would love to ease pictures of your class is using.
Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures of your progress.
I would vote for a border too. I love how this is looking.
