I’m starting to see where this is headed …
An edge like this, but turned under so the coverlet can be machine washed without concern (it is for a two year old, after all).
And here’s how it looks spread out …
Still to come: more grey and white check along the top edge. Then on to backing and quilting.

I like the unexpected rails next to the log cabins. A lively asymmetry

Ha … perfect! It hadn’t occurred to me that I’d built a fence next to the cabins

I am loving that you’re on WordPress now. Your comments and replies come right up on my dashboard with all other comments. Makes a dialogue possible without checking back.

So tempted to leave it loose instead of stitched down … we’ll see …

Oh my, be still my heart! That edge says “the story continues” I love it!
As far as comments, I’m never signed in to wordpress, so I have to check back, for if I get ‘notified’ too many blogs, too many comments and the I have to get to work deleting my interest in past posts! I just check backwards every time I’m here. I’m sure I miss a lot!

And now your comment has me considering what story the back will tell (please don’t laugh … this kind of project us so new to me that it’s hard to imagine it all the way through)

LA – that is looking exceptional – subtle – unbelievable amount of work. Go well. B

B – thank you … when Don recently commented about “when will it be done?” I thought a moment and then said “maybe never” … I think I might keep adding stitches at P’s direction (during Nana naps, which are famous for their lack of actual sleeping)

It is a fascinating piece to look at, go back to and look at again. But also it is just so full of happy love! I don’t really understand how the machine washing changes things tho? My lack of quilting no-how on show!

My lack of quilting experience is likewise on full display here … so your question is perfect, making me consider that the edge could indeed be composed of ragged appliqué (a la Jude) rather than a tidily turned binding. The resulting fray would surely be a wonder! Thank you!!

oh my – love that idea!

The frayed edge turned out to be wonderfully soft …

Love this quilt Liz! Such variety for the eyes, yet it all belongs together. It will be a wonderful playground for imaginations.
