ALYOF - July Finish!
Well... sort of! Given that my goal for July was to do SOMETHING with my Improv Herringbone blocks and I've managed to sew them into a (almost) finished top! (I was #37 on the Goal Setting Party). I'm calling this a win. These blocks were a challenge... you can read about this goal in progress on last week's WIP Wednesday post!
It's not quite big enough to be useful just yet, but you know me and borders. I'm thinking asymmetrical... perhaps left and bottom borders. Your opinions are more than welcome!
Sometimes those flimsies just want to dance around on the clothesline instead of standing still for a pic!
I snapped these pics while Himself was grilling up some burgers on the BBQ. Blue skies with puffy white clouds and sunshine streaming down after days of rain. What a day!
I'm linking up with the ALYOF Finishes Party for July. Seven months straight of meeting my goals. Yay, me!

My brain just came up with a really labor intensive idea - make a border that is reverse of the blocks: colored strips and the neutral background for the angular pieces. But only do one stripe, and only do 2 sides as you mentioned. Crazy idea...
ReplyDeleteYeah for achieving goals!! And who was watching DT while you and Himself were busy???? LOL I'm working on something for Throwback Thursday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely design and the colours...of course, in the sun it looks like stained glass, so pretty! I love the idea of asymmetrical borders - can't wait to see the finished product. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, congrats! I managed to finish my goal as well :)
ReplyDeleteLooking great! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the border :)
ReplyDeleteHi! This looks fantastic! Amazing pattern and delicious colours! Asymmetric border sounds interesting. I'm just thinking how to make the top I'm working with, bigger and don't want just 'normal' border around.x Teje
ReplyDeleteGood for you meeting your goals! I think the colors are beautiful in this quilt. Not sure on the borders, but would love to see what you come up with. Because my brain isn't working yet this morning, I can't picture an asymmetrical border (let alone say it). I say do it! Love the picture of the back of your quilt!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this all quilted up! I love this... is feels beachy and fun! Yay for asymmetrical borders!

ReplyDeleteThat has come together really well. Are you sure it isn't big enough on its own? It looks big!
