Design Wall Monday - 2/10

Well, I soldiered through and got the Disappearing Nine Patch blocks made into a quilt top. I got the idea for the quilt from this blog post.

Last Monday, I had most of the blocks on the wall and I wasn't too thrilled with it.

I left it for a few days and came back and started to move things around to group the neutral into something resembling diagonal rows.

A few more adjustments and I sewed the center together and then dug through my fabrics for border options. I was sure that I had enough for the light pink as a border and the dark pink for binding and possibly an inner border. After posting on my FB page and Instagram (@darlingjillquilts), it was almost unanimous to use an inner border.

Center is done. I'm trying to decide on a dark pink inner border with a wide light pink outer and dark pink binding. Or just light pink border and dark pink binding. #ohcraft #darlingjillquilts #decisionsdecisions

I sewed and sewed and sewed while watching figure skating...

Assembling rows to get this quilt top out of the way. Also watching the #Olympics figure skating. Woot! #ohcraft #darlingjillquilts

And now have a finished top and binding!

And now I have to move on to the next quilt. :)

    It is amazing what a narrow inner border adds! I often find, as you did that it is the difference between an ok quilt and a great quilt.
