Hi, I am continuing to work on my "Where Is Cornelia?" wall hanging.
After using colored pencils in the background of my "Where Is Cornelia?" quilt, I found matching metallic thread and added some stitching on the edge of the flowers.
My next search was for interesting, complimentary fabric that I could use for a binding. I came up with this after rejecting several other choices. The curving lines seem to add to the center design without competing with it. So, on I go.
But.....
Wait!
The fact that the fabric was cut along some of the swirls inspired me to start thinking in a new direction. What if I added some of the swirls to the edge of the design?
(Yes, I know, another way to prolong finishing it!)
Maybe next week????

REALLY like the addition of the swirls to the quilt! Sometimes projects just need to be prolonged :) This is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes! That purple swirly fabric is to cool to hide in the binding. And it goes so well with the rest of the piece. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out :-)
ReplyDeleteI just love the hand stitching. What an effect.

Yes, I think adding the swirl fabric will enhance the quilt. On we go.....
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous...and go for more swirls--"finishing" is overrated.
