Are you ready? I designed and laid out my applique border, but didn't get it stitched because I took a lengthy vacation in February. But it's the first thing on my list now that March is here.
Our March border will be...........braids!
I went looking for images on Google, and here are a few that I'd like to share:
I haven't done a braid before, but I recently saw it done on Fons and Porter, and I immediately bought a hexagon ruler to use. I'm not going to recommend a size for this border, so use whatever works best for your quilt. I hope to see some beautiful applique and braids on the Flickr site! I think we've lost most of the group, so please let me know if you're still playing along. I certainly understand that with a long term project like this, life can get in the way and change our plans and goals.

I want to play, I just want to finish quilting my Batiks Jewels first. I really thought I would finish in Jan. but I'm taking a really long time on it. Then I can concentrate on this and a couple other projects.
ReplyDeleteoh yes I'm still here - albeit it slowly - but keen to continue, especially as this is for my daughter who is at my elbow nagging! I think the braid will be a nice border after the quite appliqué block that we are planning. Lovely - thank you :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm still watching from the sidelines since I'm not going any further with my SAHR instead turning it into a wall hanging not a full size quilt. I finished painting the bedroom where I'm going to hang it. Now I have to quilt and bind it. But I will keep watching until everyone is finished.
ReplyDeletegood luck Sunny cant wait to see it .xx
ReplyDeleteI am still playing along Sunny, my appliqué is not done but well on its way and I love the idea of the braid , never made them before but have wanted to so this should be fun.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the braids!!!
ReplyDeleteOh No not the next row. I have my top on the spare bed with the appilque lying on it but still need to sew them on. Will do it on my return from the retreat.
ReplyDeleteLove the braid border
I've made a few things with the braids...easy enough and great appeal! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteok.... I am going to jump back in.
ReplyDeletebut excuse me if I don't get to it til the end of March.
One of these days I will be making quilts like these....I wish!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the border on your SAHR quilt Sunny! :o) Hope everything's going well over there. xo
ReplyDeleteYay! Spring has sprung on your blog! I love the new flower banner and the new side borders (the light yellow dots)
