I participate in a Round Robin that was formed out of the Modern Quilting Facebook Group.
The latest addition to Joy's quilt was the parallelograms floating in negative space. I decided to make my own version of the borders on the Windmill Quilt over at Dreamworthy Quilts.
Using a solid dark blue, Kona White and two ombre fabrics, I created strip sets for each different column color. I wanted to extend, and contain the negative space in the previous border.
What do you think of my colorful borders?
Wow, that is really eye catching. I love how the up and down movement of the border (the Vs) direct your eye back to the center of the quilt. Great addition!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I wasn't sure how it would work out, but I do like the final result.
DeleteOooh those are very nice additions to her quilt! It adds a lot of balance to the quilt, I like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks! By the way, if your Round Robin group wants another member the next go-round, let me know if you are interested in letting me participate. This group is scheduled to conclude at the end of the year.
DeleteI love how the ombré fabric looks in the border.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for ombre, even though they are getting harder to find lately.
DeleteI think the additions are wonderful, and the ombre really adds a depth the the negative space surround. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yvonne. You always have such great critiques!
DeleteAfton, I absolutely love your border rendition of the Windmill quilt!!! I love the color combination/order you came up with and the blue outline! Thank you so much for letting me know! I love that the internet lets us share ideas which become our own. Inspiration can be found everywhere.
