Stripes galore!

As I mentioned way back here, Kristen’s birthday gift was a little late but it’s done now and in the hands of the intended.

Kristens quilt (4)

The pattern didn’t call for wonky blocks or a border but then I never did follow direction very well.  I’m so glad I didn’t listen to the pattern on this.  I can’t imagine it with straight blocks and no border.  I think the black really sets the colors off.  Kristen’s dishes are assorted colors of Fiesta ware.  Won’t this look nice in the middle of their table?

This one was really hard to part with.  I told her if she ever got tired of it, I get it back!

  2. I can't imagine this without the black border either! It just sets off all the bright colors in such a great way. Love your changes.

  6. I like the willy wonka blocks. I made a turning twenty quilt topn. It was too plain for me, so I cut the blocks diagonally and switched them around. In fact I slept under it last night at my daughter's house!
