I’m thinking it’s best to get moving on my UFO projects, while I have them on my mind and am motivated to get them finished. And I could use a little feedback here!
This project is still lacking a border. This is what it looks like right now:
My initial idea was a combination of paper pieced and plain borders, to give it a somewhat tipsy effect. However, as you are well aware by now, I refuse to PP any more!
So I thought I would just add a simple pieced border, and use the white spaces for some quilting motifs.But I’m still not liking it much. Seems kind of ‘blah’ to me…
Since applique is my true love, I thought maybe some of those motifs should be appliqued instead of quilted. Does this look any better? I’m thinking this is still too much pink and blue…
Maybe if I add some other colors… Now this I’m liking a lot better. What do you think? What would you do differently?
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.

I vote for number 4. The green gives it the “pop” it needs.
Thank you, Bev. The more I look at it, the more I like it. And that’s a lot, considering there was little I was liking about this project. I definitely like the applique more than just the quilting motifs, so I think I’m going to go ahead with the green. Thanks for the feedback!
Hé Angie, I vote for number 4 aswell, I love the colering with the green and with the applique it is more ( I dont know how to say) more living,…. more…joy….more nicer…..Succes!!!
