Two friends came over to sew yesterday and my project was the bottom border of this quilt. See this post for the source of the pattern. I had a few senior moments and made friends with my seam ripper, and finally by last night I had it sewn on. It ended up 78" x 103". I resized the churn dash from 81" to 67.5" because I wanted to make the quilt rectangular so it can be used on a twin bed. The bottom border will be the drop at the foot of the bed. I hung this horizontally on 2 design walls and then rotated the photo so it looks kind of wrinkly but it's actually nice and flat.
Some bloggers mention to click or double click on their photos but they have their photos set for "show photos with lightbox" in which you cannot click to enlarge the photo. You can turn that off in settings, posts and comments. Some people post photos in a reduced size that don't enlarge and are even sometimes smaller when you click on them. I realize it is personal choice for settings so this isn't a criticism, just an observation.
Yes, many many blogs have something going on, which prevents me from leaving comments - it's like their blogs doesn't recognize me.I have been able to get around this, though, if I use my phone to leave the comment, not sure why the difference but it works for me. I never have a problem leaving comments on your blog, though, so yay!
Glad to hear your not the only one that is a friend with their seam ripper. I tell all my students to make friends with it. I don't understand the big deal. I'm still handling the fabric, that is therapy enough for me.
I really like this quilt top and anxious to see how you will quilt it. The simple design really shows off the zebra fabric. Which is what I love about it.
I am fortunate not to be experiencing any issues with the comment section of your blog. Or enlarging your photo's.
I hardly ever get any comments on my blog so I don't know if people have trouble posting comments or if it's just that no one reads it! I enjoy yours and love seeing your work.
Hi Wanda, I changed my settings based on your observations.
ReplyDeleteI like the borders. It gives that pattern an all new look.
ReplyDeleteI am digging the zig zag borders! The zebras seem to dance across the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI really like the borders. Thanks for the tip about photos. I've been wondering why mine won't enlarge.
ReplyDeleteMultiple times my comments have just disappeared. Not sure what the problem is but it usually happens when I try to input the security.

ReplyDeleteThe zig zags are going to make a great impact on the bed.

ReplyDeleteI ahve been playing with blogger lately trying to put a photo behind my title. I have ended up with all sorts of changes but not the one I want!
