The Quartered Binding

Oh, my gosh, I love this idea! That's a beautiful quilt and your free hand is wonderful...sigh....I have a long way to go to get close to that talent. You did a fine job all way around! Donna

You inspire me, Pat. There's an ombre in my future soon; looks like such fun for creating. One time I did have a black with white snowflakes that gradated (is that a word?) to white with black spots. (I think that was in my snowman period.) The vine/leaf quilting is great; I want to try that too. Would love to see the full blown rose. Polly

wow, i love this. in fact my Neopolitan quilt has the same border...the shading is in browns tho. i love the black to grey. the quilting is beautiful. i'm a "leaves" freak. i collect leaf fabrics. but this is a great idea!

good job!

Ah, thanks Leslie. And, it wasn't difficult - just a bit fiddly. A few more stages than the general run of binding, but I do like the result. Seems to 'fit' with the rest of the quilt.

Thanks Roberta. Maybe this is my first instance of a quilt speaking to me - why I had the idea? I shall be so pleased if they will help in my choices in future! There are many of the fabrics used which have flowers and leaves, so it seemed appropriate to do that for the quilting. . In message , Roberta writes

Thanks Sandy. I know it is a little unorthodox, but it did seem right! I'm glad you like it notwithstanding >g< . In message , Sandy E writes
