Actually, with a LOT of help from my friends! Earlier this year, I was invited to join the Quick Christmas Bee that was hosted by my friend Cat. For 7 months, I made blocks for others, and received my blocks. And now my beautiful blocks have been sewed together. Presenting:

I requested a star block from each of my six partners, and a block of their choice. Unfortunately, each of them said I didn't send enough fabric, so they added some from their stash. And I must say they all made wonderful choices. So stand up and take a bow: Cat, Isabel, Manuela, Jackie, Jodi, and Ana Maria. Thank you all so much for your part in such a beautiful quilt.
Now I need some advice. Should I just finish this off with green binding? Or should I add more to the outside border and finish off the star motifs? Or use a scrappy binding? I have siggy blocks from everyone and they will be worked into the back. I 'm sure you'll be seeing more of this.
Counting my blessings....Sunny
wickedly wickedly wickedly AWESOME I love this Sunny!
ReplyDeleteWe all did good!
I've just finished Manuela's blocks so can post those off to her tomorrow
very cheery. I like how you did the sashing.
ReplyDeleteI think a green binding would look great. No need for a border at all.
Love it! :) Either way would look wonderful, I think.
ReplyDeleteOh that is lovely. I love the Merry block. I think I'd do red around the outside. Whatever you choose though I'm sure it will be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out to be a lovely quilt. I love swaps. I think I would just make a green or red border. It's all that it needs.

Sunny it looks fantastic ,what a great effort by everyone,i think i would just add red edging,good luck with finishing Sunny
ReplyDeleteIt is great and I think I'd just finish off with a binding of the gold from your sashing stars.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I like all the fabrics and love the Merry block! I would say to go with the green binding :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! What a lovely remembrance ........
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Your sashing stars look like gold ribbons threading through the blocks. I would audition the gold for the binding. Sometimes choosing binding fabric is the hardest part for me. I usually lay the top on several different fabrics to see what appeals to my eye.
ReplyDeleteVery Festive!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous Christmas Blocks sunny and I love the way you put them together.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that is just lovely - I don't think I'd add a border, it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI like the quilt either way, and I think a scrappy border would be nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat avery special quilt...looks fabulous!
