I'm circling in (sorry about that) on this quilt.The twelve blocks are finished but not yet sewn into their rows.
Next step: auditioning border fabrics. The book shows a plain border followed by an applique'ed border. The outer border (vine and flowers) has me all a-tizzie, and as I'm allergic to hand work, I may have to "fast and dirty" a raw edge stick on affair.
In the meantime I'm finishing the Civil War repro for Aurora. Check out my progress on that blog.

Love it! What a happy quilt!
loving this quilt! very intimidating to me to think of making...well done as usual!
Hi. I found you through a search, as I'm about one step ahead of you on this quilt and I'm about losing my mind on the borders. See my blog here:http://occasionalpiece.wordpress.com/
So I decided to do a search on Google image to see what I could find, and what I'm finding is not many people are doing that border that she shows in her book. I enjoyed it all up to this point, but I'm about ready to leave it at this point (same as you) because I love the interplay of the color and shape.
What do you have planned? Please leave a comment on my blog, and it will grab your email address. I'd love to have a "partner in crime" that I could talk it over with.
I used to live in Alexandria, VA--used to haunt The Artful Quilter--and used to belong to QU in Virginia (was in their show a couple of times--Mr. Vernon chapter) so it was really fun to see you mention it on your blog!

Your work is incredible. Glad to have stumbled on your site.
How do you DO that? My mom's a quilter and I'm always amazed at how much work goes into each quilt. I can hardly sew a button on - and just the idea of matching fabrics terrifies me.
