Your blog posts always give me food for thought. This time it's the black borders added in for "course correction". Win/win. So true, I just never thought of it that way. Thanks for the turn of phrase.Lynn C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09214803128559321308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-73504363486926575322019-04-18T19:35:46.792-07:002019-04-18T19:35:46.792-07:00BEAUTIFUL!

Yay, you. I know what you mean about quilts becoming tedious once the design is set. That's why I rarely graph out an entire quilt. All the fun is gone. And it's why I'm enjoying adding more details like you do. Oh, goody. Extra icing.<br />But this is a wonderful quilt. Repeat that as often as you repeated tedium. Super job. Love the black strips between the HSTs and totally get that they corral the waviness. <br />About the dining room table... After decades of designing on the floor I finally made a large design wall (moveable insulation boards.) I have to enter the room sideways. It's still not big enough. They end up back on the floor. Resist that idea! Your quilts will expand to overfill anything. ;-)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-7799312717078094682019-04-17T15:28:53.935-07:002019-04-17T15:28:53.935-07:00Your quilt is absolutely wonderful!

I sympathise with the oddly fitting geese border, on a recent much small quilt my sides needed to finish 64", so 32 geese per side. LOL somehow it is almost square but there are NOT exactly 32 per side, I think one had 34! But who's counting, at least it is square-ish.<br /><br />lizzyLizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-46598068474591608082019-04-16T10:02:48.090-07:002019-04-16T10:02:48.090-07:00I was wondering how you were coming along with thi...I was wondering how you were coming along with this quilt. It is beautiful and so worth all the frustration and effort. I know what you mean about letting anyone use it. I am the same way. If I've invested that much time and "angst" into a quilt (and it turned out as nicely as this one did), it's going to get a lot of TLC and reminders to my kids of my valiant efforts. Love the repeat of the pink.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-6070102332029797872019-04-16T09:20:51.344-07:002019-04-16T09:20:51.344-07:00Fabulous, that's all I can say!Fabulous, that's all I can say!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037415376456508137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-35545944138024159272019-04-16T09:12:42.388-07:002019-04-16T09:12:42.388-07:00Honestly, I just can't imagine tackling this o...Honestly, I just can't imagine tackling this one.
