Overjoyed I am as the Delft Dreams blocks are now completed and joined together! The blocks are all hand sewn - well except for a few straight seams I did recently on the machine to speed up the process - and I put the top together by machine yesterday in a fairly random layout...
This is my only blue and white quilt - usually I go for more colour but the pattern carries it well as my hubby pointed out last night when I asked him what he thought - I'll make a quilt critic of him yet!
This one has been on the go since October 2009 when I did a workshop with Margaret Hughes at the Quilt Room in Dorking. Her original quilt was 36 blocks.
I have only done 25 but I think that is enough for a small quilt. I am thinking of adding a 4-patch border to extend it a little!
What do you think - extend or finish at 51" square?

Would a pieced border take away from this quilt, as I do love the blocks and how they stand out right now. I would stick to it as it is.
ReplyDeleteLove it as is! It is just gorgeous. Breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
I would leave it, the blocks are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI would just leave it as it is...it is fantastic! Again! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat depends on what you decide to use it for. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Kristin
Great job! I think an understated border to finish would be lovely. Jxo
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely - so light and fresh! How about a white spacer border before the 4 patches so the border doesn't detract from the centre? Or maybe a white border then a round of floating blue squares (blue squares with square/oblong of white in between) and then a final white border?
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great as it is - a border would be nice, though to finish it off.

It's beautiful, I would leave it as it is.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab, I love the effect of 2 colours only. I would leave it as it is but if you need it bigger a very simple boarder.
