bricks

bricks border

I love this project, I really do. For the latest border, I followed Jennifer’s designs for the bricks instead of the half square triangles. I strayed a bit on the placement, so my version took more time and fabric that hers, but it is pretty much the same. I like it. The flickr group of everyone’s quilts is amazing. They’re the same, but oh, so different—it’s so inspiring.

And speaking of same but different, the first round of one quilt blocks are starting to come in. I love the places these talented women have taken the fabrics I sent them. It’s amazing. Like I think I said, I plan on setting them on point. I’ll have 12 blocks, so I think I’ll line them up 3×4 with solid spacer blocks in between. I think I can stretch it to a bed quilt that way. But what color shall I use for the spacer?

I wore my green oxford dress out yesterday and it worked pretty well. I had some gap-osis in the top, but I think I can fix it, and when I cut a size smaller, it should be taken care of. It did not blow away. :-)

Your medallion looks great! Nice to hear that you are happy with the brick border, too. I am working on another brick border round right now. I am making this one a bit bigger (wider) than the first one. I am also so inspired by what I see in the Flickr group.
