| Pinks and neutrals baby plus quilt |
The quilt top measured 28 1/2" x 32 1/2" without the 2" borders I had originally planned on adding. Wanting to make the top a little larger, I cut the borders 3 1/2" instead of 2 1/2". It would only add another 2 inches, but thought it make it a nicer size. Well, wouldn't you know I miscut the first strip and did not have enough fabric to cut an extra border. So, I pieced it! It's not noticeable, but I know it is there.

You have done such a good job on piecing that border that I really had to examine it carefully to find the join. The thing that gave it away was the whisker of the seam allowance you can see peeking out from behind the quilt.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that with a bit of piecing you did have enough fabric to get a bit more size for the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great, I could not even find the join and after piecing you probably won't be able to see it.
ReplyDeleteI looked and looked and looked at the finished quilt and couldn't see where you pieced the border. I know you know it's there but it doesn't show and I'm sure the new baby and his/her mother will either not notice or think nothing of it if they do. I think it looks great with the wider (rather than a narrower) border. Well done!

It is really cute - I like the colors!
ReplyDeleteWith the extra wide border, the blocks seem to float. Wonderful colors, and very sweet for a baby quilt. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteAmazing that pieced border!!! Complimats and congrats with this great finish!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't see where you pieced it if it was in the strip you showed. I feel your pain as I had a day full of miss information and problems yesterday! Thank goodness today is a new day.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job piecing that border - the join is hardly noticeable! I think this is a really sweet baby quilt. Wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteGood thing that was such a forgiving fabric. I can't see any piecing even with your close shot. Very pretty quilt too.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Paige. Thanks for linking up and good providence w/OMG!
ReplyDeleteI keep having to relearn this phrase. I'd love if you'd come share at my Lessons Learned Linky: http://quiltingmod.blogspot.com/2015/12/lessons-learned-linky-1.html
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your piecing is so perfect that nobody would notice unless you showed them ad they looked really, really closely.
ReplyDeleteHi Paige..I'm retutning the visit and glad I did! I love your pinks with neutals...great combo huh.
