Art deco quilt update
ByI have made considerable progress with this quilt, this photo shows the “blocks”.
The next photo shows the top finished but with out the borders.
I decided to use the paler yellow for the borders with the darker yellow set into an L shape in each corner. The next photo shows the corner blocks for the borders. The 9 patch block is not quite the right size, it was about a 1/4 of an inch out so I had to remake the block.
I have put the borders on the quilt, ( I took the photo inside with a flash, not the best way to photograph a quilt).
The next decision is about the style of quilting.
For some time I have been admiring the work of Judi Madsen of Green Fairy quilts. I have no illusion that I will achieve the depth and complexity of Judi’s quilting but I think this quilt lends itself to geometric patterns and gives me a good opportunity to move out of my quilting comfort zone.
The finished size is 55 by 40 inches.
This has been a very enjoyable and rewarding project to work on and one that has taught me quite a bit about using the QE7 programme. For example, I will take more care when drawing the pattern and think ahead about how to the pattern will need to be sewn.To see other works in progress please stop by Freshly Pieced WIP

Nice, I like it… please put up another photo when it is all done
Hi Karin, I will put up another photo of the quilt with borders. Will have to take the photo inside now the rain has set in.
Interesting desing. I like your color combo.
Hi Vera,
Thanks for dropping by. I looked at your quilts, they are beautiful, I really liked the colour wheel and the quilting was really effective.
This is a lovely quilt. If it was difficult for you to put together, we certainly can’t see it in the finished top. Beautiful work.
Thank you, I have to say that it has come together much easier than I thought it would, even the sections that I thought would be difficult were not that hard after all . I am now keen to try another design using the same process.
Can’t wait for you to bring it in to show it off
