round five
I have been a bad, bad blogger. I haven't had time to either quilt or blog. I so want to start Judy's next hour a day quilt, but it's just not working out. I have been thinking about it. :c)
This is all I have finished in a long, long time. This is my Round 5 in my group's round robin. This months border was curves. I had a really hard time. It belongs to a good friend and I couldn't envision anything for a border with curves that I thought would compliment it. I decided that instead I would embellish the triangle border with curves. I drew up the holly vines from the print on the black fabric in the outer border. I should have taken a better picture of that fabric before I passed it along. It was due last night and I finished the handwork at about 12:30 am. Nothing like cutting it close. It is now in the hands of the next person and I have my last one to get started on. It's made from Aunt Gracie's and we are doing applique. I have so many ideas for this one that I'm not sure which one I am going to do.

It's beautiful. Looks like Christmas.
I love your vines, they are perfect, and I can't think of any other way to do curves with that quilt that would work.
with such strong lines in the quilt, I think you were very creative to come up with a way to make the curves work. Congrats
oh yours are looking so much better than what I have been getting stuck with on my rounds. Good job, Tami
Your solution was perfect! The holly vine is the perfect compliment to the piecing. I think a curved border stuck outside of what's there so far would have looked really wierd. Well done!
I think it looks wonderful! That's going to turn out a very nice quilt when finished!
Aunt Gracie fabrics always inspire me too. Can't wait to see if you show that one too!
Your vines look great - and such a nice compliment to the center. This recipient should be pleased.
Your vines look terrific. I think it goes really well with the center. Great thinking to add to a border that was already there rather than just making it bigger.
I don't always like a lot of Round Robin quilts but this one looks nice.
i like the vines you have done for this quilt.
Those spaces were meant for your vines, your pal will appreciate your addition. This is such a nice Christmasy quilt.
