This is my last finish for this weekend.These were my dryer sheet string blocks.
I don't like the border on this one. The border in itself is fine, it just doesn't work on this quilt. However, it is now a finished flimsy ready for quilting, and I am sure it will find a home where it will be loved just the same. :) Not every idea in my head turns out like I think it will!
What a pretty string quilt, and a great idea to use dryer sheets. I like the border treatment.
ReplyDeletethe border is just fine . Very nice idea
ReplyDeleteI think the whole quilt is wonderful - colorful and classy.
ReplyDeleteI like the border treatment!
ReplyDeleteI really like your border, think it frames the quilt nicely. Makes the quilt have dimension especially using the black against that green...
ReplyDeletegreat choice!
thanks for sharing the picture....

I love how the dryer sheets give you rectangluar blocks instead fo the more common squares. And in my opnion look great with the green border -- it picks up the light springy colours in the blocks and highlights them...
ReplyDeleteI like it! Yet another great way to use up the leftovers.
ReplyDeleteThat's great. I really like the green on the border!
ReplyDeleteI love the strings made up that way, I never thought to make them up like diamonds. The border is fabulous. You must be just thrilled with it Norma!

Oh, Norma, I love the border treatment!!! The green really makes the whole quilt pop. Beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteEven if it's not what you saw in your mind's eye - it looks great from here.
ReplyDeleteNorma, I'm not an expert, but I think the green border is great! I think it really makes the blocks pop. I don't know whether you didn't like the color or the design of the border, but I think both are nice.
ReplyDeleteLook at you go, girl! I like the border though---not sure what you wanted it to look like but it looks fine! that black breaks up the green nicely and really frames it well.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the swirls on the Building Blocks. I am going to print off the post with the enlarging instructions and put it with the ones I printed off. THX!
Looks good from here!
ReplyDeleteI like the black-sashings.
The Ladybug quilt is really cute too. I have a couple of Debbie Mumm projects I want to do now!
Actually, I quite like the border. It gives the whole quilt a stained glass feeling.
ReplyDeleteYour color catcher strings and dryer diamond strings turned out great!!! I'm still collecting the dryer sheets but haven't started piecing on the them yet.
ReplyDeletenow you know where it can find a home ..... I like green too.
ReplyDeleteguess who?
I would say your border slightly overpowers the diamonds-is that what seems off to you? still, a wonderful quilt and done is great! I liked the diamond wall hanging I did-a fun shape to work with
ReplyDeleteI think of stained glass when I see your quilt. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteI see ... a stained glass window ... with the wooden frame painted green. It's a great quilt!
