Beavering away,

I tried every fabric in the quilt as a border and it just wouldn't have it --so it will remain borderless!

Still undecided about binding/bagging or some other method to eventually finish it off. At the moment I am having a whale of a time just playing around with the quilting. The backing is a blue chambray and it looks like a wholecloth as I have used a similar colour of thread to quilt the block centres. These are just about finished and the next bit to quilt is the sashing. I am going to try a couple of different colours for that and see what I think.

Flower Garden quilt.

I have started the quilting now. It will look better when it has all been through the wash and the marking pen doodles are washed out. I quite like how the hexagons take on a different look as you get close enough to see the stitching. All the central rosettes are quilted, so now it is "just" the area outside the central medallion and the borders to do, and then the binding.

I am stitching with my Bernina 200e and variegated Valdani 50 weight cotton thread in needle and bobbin.
