I so enjoyed the friendships I made in the Flickr group: Civil War Quilts 2011. One of the best things was seeing how others... much ahead of me in the BOW assembly... finished their quilts. I particularly liked the border design on Bettina Meier's CW quilt.
So, I copied it!
Nothing like late afternoon sun to bleach out the colors, huh?
Congratulations on getting you CW finished. Like the red and blue borders and lattice. Haven't decided how to set mine yet------it's called procrastination.

ReplyDeleteI love the corner treatment of the borders. Congratulations on a beautiful quilt top completed. I kind of like the muted colors that the sun made, but not enough to make another quilt.lol:)
ReplyDeleteIt's glorious! Each block a work of art, and they are perfectly arranged...the whole quilt is pure delight for the eyes! I do love how you made the cornerstone blocks.

Great quilt Freda, I really like the blocks you used on the corners, it's been wonderful seeing all the different versions of this quilt.
