I-Spy a Crumb Patch top complete

Last night I was able to finish the I Spy a Crumb Patch quilt top.  I am really happy with it and know exactly what fabric to purchase for the border (a bright but deep colored blue).  A while back I saved a link in my RSS feed for prairie points and I think that would totally look cool in this scrappy quilt.  Pieces of Rana's Life is a great blog and this tutorial makes it look easy!  I was going to put on a 1" finished border in blue, then the prairie points (scrappy of course), then a 3" finished border using the same blue.

Here is the quilt top



In other news, I was going to start the Tree of Life quilting, only to realize I skipped an important step:  I forgot to purchase coordinating thread!  I am going to take care of that today or tomorrow.  Gold for most of the body and brown for the tree. 

Happy Quilting!

  2. WOW, I really like this quilt. It'll look great with a deep blue border fabric and the prairie points will add an extra fun detail.

  4. I've been keeping this photo as NEW (ok, an earlier version) for some time - it's so pretty, not difficult, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing what the border looks like. Very pretty!
