I finished the quilt top for my Saltbox quilt. Here's a quick recap:
The inspiration quilt:
(Pattern is "Come On-a My House" from "Miss Rosie's Farmhouse Favorites"
by Carrie Nelson.)
My smaller version:
So, I decided to add sashing between the rows before adding the border. I chose a quiet beige for the sashing and this rich deep cranberry print by Kim Diehl for the outer border.
(The borders are not that wrinkled, the top has just outgrown my design board. )
I can't wait to get this one quilted and hung in my family room.

That's lovely! I like the sashing between the rows, too. Looking forward to seeing your finish!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote of confidence! Nice to hear someone else thinks the same.
DeleteThat is really pretty. Sometimes making small changes to the original design - like the sashing - is just the perfect touch.

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, Sandra! I'm so sorry I neglected to add a link to your blog on this post. I've fixed it.
DeleteLove it! The trees and stars help give space between the houses for a bit of elbow room. Those houses are darling too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I seem to always gravitate toward any design with houses.
