Then I d applique flowers/ leaves/ stems in a simple prim deisgn, echoing the applique in the center. I think a dark border would make this quilt pop, it needs the depth and richness.

My quilts go mostly the way yours do - I start with an idea and then build on it. Sometimes the idea is the border, and I have to find something to go in the middle.

The vases are what come second. I like that you are going to do something else with the flowers on a later border and will wait patiently for that to come. The color scheme on this one is something that would push my normal comfort zone of working but it looks mighty good.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-31040093423819279212014-04-17T14:27:00.169-07:002014-04-17T14:27:00.169-07:00I really like the 3 square border.

The project looks different and sometimes you can figure out how to change it. I know one of mine gets little additions everytime I play with it. I still have to figure out how I want to hand quilt around several stained glass blocks.Emily Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330290875191349258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-51890211290849917182014-04-17T14:24:43.332-07:002014-04-17T14:24:43.332-07:00Sometimes for me putting it away for a while I get...Sometimes for me putting it away for a while I get a better feel for what I think will work.

Your progress show and tell is always great to see. I've realised that I sometimes lose my mojo for my quilts if I show photos during the making. I don't know why. I use the thought of being able to show them on my blog as a reward to get them finished.
