Passionate for Paisley is nearing completion.
Since there is a touch of gold embellishment in the paisley fabric, I thought a metallic gold flange would be a nice touch in the border.
Well, it's been a while since I've done a flange anywhere, much less in border. I thought why stitch the flange and then the border when I could do both at once. Here's why:
Oops! A little reverse sewing (ripping) will take care of the problem. I should have a finished top by tomorrow.
I take it you want the flange only around the inner section, not all the way down the border piece?! But, it could be a "design element!" :) The flange is a neat idea, Libby, and will look great when you have it the way you want it.
ReplyDeleteI made a flanged border like that just yesterday. I understand how you might not like it that way, but I don't see anything wrong with it.
ReplyDeleteOops! (mumble mumble i've done that mumble mumble)
ReplyDeleteI like the flange coming down the side of the border fabric. It adds a little surprise to the quilt top. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that the continued flange is a nice element -- but it's YOUR quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe flange is a great addition, sorry the addition didn't go so smoothly. Congrats on the almost finish, it's looking good.
