Good day, and welcome to my blog. It's a hot few days here in the American Midwest.
I have been busy in my sewing room, sewing on the Autumn Braids pattern. One makes the braids, cut them to length, add accent borders, and assemble into long columns that will run the length of the quilt. The first two braids were exactly the same length and I sewed them together easily.
The next two braids were a bit short: 0.5 inches and 0.3 inches and had to have coping strips added to the bottom.
But finally, I added outer border strips and it is done.
The border fabric is the featured fabric of this Middleboro Road collection.
I managed to also cut strips for binding from the leftover yardage, sewed them together, and set the binding aside on my bookshelf. No, it won't get lost.
Now to bind a UFO (Un-Finished Object). Enough of these new starts for now, even though they are fun.

Hi Viridian, that is a very lovely project. I was so happy to discover coping strips a few years ago :-) I'm looking forward to seeing it quilted. Good luck with the next project. Thanks for linking up to I Quilted This!
ReplyDeleteViridian, this is adorable! What a great strippy quilt! I really like your colors and prints, too!
ReplyDeleteThe colors in this project are wonderful together, and I loved how you made everything line up properly.
ReplyDeleteYou sure made short work of this project! It turned out great in spite of the shortfalls. Adding a coping strip was the perfect answer! Well done!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you finished this project in the blink of an eye! I just read your previous post about it, and now you’ve already finished it! I love the jelly roll and the yellow accent, it's a very pretty top. And it’s great that the binding is already done, too! Thank you for sharing your beautiful project and linking up.
ReplyDeleteA really pretty braid quilt. Your fabric choices are beautiful. I just pulled out the pattern for an almost identical quilt, and was looking at adding it to my To Do list for this fall. Great minds must think alike! LOL
ReplyDeleteI like your braids. I haven't tried this pattern but I've made other ones. Lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt top, Viridian. I love the yellow and blues together. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great weekend.
