How about a quilt with a center square about 12".....and then a zillion borders. hahahaha well, 13, but felt like a zillion.
It was rather interesting to quilt. I tried to do something different for each different fabric. Sometimes I forgot. oops!
I did all of the rows going across and then turned it to do all the other borders going the other way. I had a bit of an issue by the time i got to the bottom. I think i needed to baste those sides a bit as I went. oh, well, done is good. haha Hope Brenda forgives me.
Quilt started out at 76 x 82 but lost 4 inches each way by the time i was finished. That seems a bit much to me.
I did some ghost quilting of blocks
Wavy lines in the fishy rows....straight lines in the flower rows
Some SID in the 9 patches and CC in the pinwheels. A bit of crosshatching.
I didn't SID all the rows....perhaps I should have. Some flowers and feathers and swirls
The back is kind of cool, I think.
It seems like a lot going on from the back....but a lot of the quilting doesn't show on the front.
The back was a darker blue...the camera washed it out. Wonder why cameras do that?
It's a pretty cool quilt....I like it.
Top thread was Glide Hawaiian Blue and bobbin was So Fine Navy
Took me about a month to quilt it. .... about an hour a day....most days.
