At the quilt retreat, I was able to sew two entire quilts by webbing and then, at home, I sewed on borders. I don't like to have a lot of seams in the binding, so I will put even thin borders on to help the quilt be more secure and less bulgey.

Linda, both of your quilts are absolutely beautiful! I really love the first one. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love your disappearing hourglass.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it was the perfect project to take to retreat.
ReplyDeleteNice!!! you got a lot done!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of those are really cool quilts!
WOW - you did quite a bit! They are both VERY nice! - ;))
ReplyDeleteWe had a quilt judge as the speaker at my large quilt guild in March. She said that all quilts should have a border. It's like framing a picture. The border gives the judge a place to rest her eyes, and makes for a more pleasing quilt. And you just thought it was to make it easier to bind ;)
ReplyDeleteTwo quilts sewn up during the retreat was a great result, both lovely. I recall the Disappearing Hourglass from previous posts, I must also have seen Dragonfly, doesn't it make a huge difference all sewn up and with borders. I've never been on a retreat, just day get-togethers, maybe up to 12 of us from the Guild.
ReplyDeleteBoth beautifully done, Linda. What fun to go to another quilt retreat and relax and have fun. You were very productive as a bonus. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteTwo more beautiful comfort quilts are almost done!
