Since this quilt is going to end up so small I had been thinking about a border. Yesterday I came up with the idea of a pieced border like I have done on other quilts. The pieces will be cut 3.5" x 6.5" out of a variety of floral fabrics. I will piece them at the same time as the quarter square triangle blocks (webbing) so I didn't get anything sewn together yesterday. I'll start cutting today.
I got 2 quilts back yesterday so I have some trimming to do and a search for a binding fabric for the neutral color batik 16 patch. I'm going to use the leftover backing fabric for the confetti quilt binding.
We had snow Thursday and now 50s predicted for Sunday and Monday. Below freezing weather is going to start next Friday so I think our warm days will be over.

It's amazing how the same block can look so different both are beautiful, I have several that are waiting to be batted & backed hopefully the upcoming week I can put a dent in them, the florals & polka dots are going to make a glorious lap size quilt !
I love the floral border! Perfect!!
Your two quilted pieces are so lovely--both so different, yet the same pattern--just how much fabric choices make really demonstrated with these two beauties;))). I do love the look of the batik--very "lace-y" .
Sprinkling here; we've gotten over 1" of rain so far...still not enough though to end our drought conditions, but good to help with the fires....
I sewed 4 nine patches yesterday from some of my blue/white mini charm squares and set up 4 more...sort of a "Wintry" look
I am thinking...baby steps...
I hope we get some snow here but with temps staying in the 40's it doesn't look good ;((( Hugs, Julierose
Love the fabrics...and as long as we have food and warmth, I say let the cold weather come...lol
hugs
