I modified the borders for mine to extend the chains. This week is the week to sew the blocks into sections. I have one side of 2 blocks and the border sewn together and hope to finish the other side later today..... after I fix two things... the top part I guess I cut the white border a little too long as it is off and then by the yellow block - need to turn that connector block so the orange is on the bottom! Good thing I laid it out this morning!
The middle section is sewn into rows that just need to get sewn together.
The thought process is that in smaller sections I should be able to machine quilt this on my small sewing machine. It is too big for my hand quilting frame.... so hopefully this will work as a quilt as you go. I am still trying to figure out quilting designs..... feel free to throw out ideas! I could use them. I am thinking an X through the connector and then making a petal around each section of the X..... Quilting design decisions is my least favorite part of quilting.
Linking up with the RSC Challenge for Multi colors today.
Choosing colours is my most challenging thing. But quilting design decisions come when You are actually ready to quilt something. I like how the colours melt into each other.

ReplyDeleteThat is one gorgeous quilt. I love how you used batiks. I really regret not having done this quilt (to be honest, my skill set at the time was lacking), but thanks to your beautiful quilt, I've now added it to my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteI really like that you extended the x connecting blocks. It's a terrific quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. Good lucky with the quilting.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou could do straight lines on the diagonal... through the chain blocks and through both sides of the star points.
That is really pretty! I love what you're doing with the border to. Going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors! And, I love your header quilt. Good luck putting this together and the quilting of it.
ReplyDeleteWow it looks awesome !!
ReplyDeleteExcellent job on the connectors! The colors are melting into each other so beautifully. Love how the connector blocks are extending into the border to frame the quilt. Excellent idea! Love, love, love this quilt. Good luck on your goal. ;^)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be an amazing quilt! Choosing quilting designs is not my strong suit - guess that's why I like checkbook quilting (paying someone else to do it) so much!
ReplyDeleteThat is so gorgeous! I love how the color progresses through the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love how your colors flow in this beautiful design. I understand how you want to quilt it in sections. That gives me ideas for my next one as well. Good luck. It will be a gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt top is looking amazing!! I love this pattern! You are doing amazing with it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so intricate and lovely, but you sure do have to be careful along the way. Pics make it easier to spot those mistakes.,good going. The petals and lines should be easy with a walking foot. Lots of luck!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. It will be so good to have anothr finish.
