I’ve been working on quite a few things the past week or so…trying to finish up some projects and get them to the quilted stage! First up, I finally decided on an inner border for my Bee in My Bonnet Row Along quilt.
I went with Moda Bella Aqua…it just goes really well with all of the Bonnie & Camille fabrics. My outer border fabric arrived in the mail on Monday–I’ll be getting it set together as soon as possible!
I also decided on a border (and backing) for my “Marcelle Medallion.” I ended up going with the floral on aqua from Flea Market Fancy for this quilt. I was able to get some of the red scissor fabric, but in the end it just wasn’t “it.” I do love this aqua, though, for my outer border. Since there are so many lights in this quilt I had to go with a light backing; I chose the geometric print from 2wenty Thr3e at the top of the photo.

The aqua border on your Row Along is perfect. And I like your border selection for the Medallion quilt, too!

I love the aqua border you chose for your Marcelle Medallion quilt. That is one of my favorite prints! Can't wait to see this completed.

Sherri, your quilts are beautiful. I used to do alot of quilting when I was younger but stopped for many years. I recently began again and it is such a joy to my heart. I'm not as organized as you, though! Very lovely.
Hugs,
Mary

Fun to see your projects come together. Agreed on the benefits of sending out a quilt–I love those days when they call and say "your quilt is ready." It's like Christmas!

I'm one of the few dinosaurs left, who hand quilts everything.
I simply adore your fabric choices. The more the better!
Beautiful blog. I'm so glad I found it!

The Aqua border is smashing….I want to try my hand at hexies…a little nervous to try them, they look so hard…but have to get out of the box…
