I just completed my latest quilt and I decided to be bold and go out on a limb with this one. I tried the new ruler from June Tailor called the Fancy Frame for Decorative Quilt Borders. I read about this ruler on my favorite Quilt Taffy blog site and decided I would try it. Now note, there is a wavy edge and a scallop edge on this ruler. Remember - baby steps, baby steps. I tried the wavy edge. It was so easy I couldn't believe it! It really put a wonderful edge on the quilt. It is a gentle curve and doesn't stretch hardly at all. It really makes you feel like you have mastered something. I highly recommend this ruler!
I received these quilt blocks in an exchange that our quilt group does every year. Yes, I was pretty scared of the focus fabric that was chosen when I was away visiting my ailing mother back east. It is the border fabric of beach balls. Okay, I have to admit that it turned out pretty cute. Thanks everyone! I also have a wonderful quilter friend who quilted this. She is amazing. If you need a quilter, I can probably hook you up!
I gave this quilt away to a dear friend of mine who was in great need of a hug. She is such a great example to everyone and is helping everyone but herself. Hope it makes her feel loved and appreciated!
