At this rate, my embroidery machine will need to go in for another million stitch tune-up in the near future. ... it's been running most of the day for several days now.
I made 12 blocks of sunbonnet sues. at first i was going to quilt them individually and hang them monthly in the entryway of the studio. but then decided to make them into a quilt. here are a few blocks.
The white section with Sue is 11" square...then there is a 4" border around that.
All borders are different....corresponding with the month's mood and colors.
I sashed them with black and did a sashing border, too.
Then i was contemplating putting a large white border on it and thought it might be too bright. but i didn't want a black border and no other color seemed to work since i had every color in the spectrum in here already.
So i got the bright idea to do more Sues for the border. i am currently embroidering 48 blocks of Sues in blackwork on white fabric. i think that will work...the border will be black and white and match up. the embroidered blackwork Sues are about 4" square and all different. i think it will be cute. gonna try and finish up those squares today...i have about 30 of them done.
And i finished up my ABC applique machine embroidery blocks, too. i put numbers in the corner blocks. got to decide how to sash them and what to put on a border. it will be a cute kid quilt.
What would you put on the border? i was thinking of a pieced border with strips of all the colors...do you think that would work? gonna go start up the embroidery machine again...talk with you
Later
