I have been busy working on this all week, After my last post I ironed the cut out shaped in position and here are the photos of the applique stitching being completed.
Next I decided on sashings to match the blue of the cars with a yellow centre which was the same fabric from the boat to tie it all in together. I then put on a border of a pretty blue and decided on some cornerstones in a pretty spot with a bit of pink just to break up the blue and yellow a little bit.
I purposely decided not to do this exactly as the pattern with borders around each of the ABC blocks as I like the symetry of this, I did the original quilt I made "by the book" and although its very sweet it does look a little unbalanced to me
Finally I put on wide yellow borders with a white spot. I always like the freshness of yellow and white - kind of like daisies.
I still have to quilt and bind this so more to follow. I think I have enough of the fine check used on the sails to bind this with.
