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!

P.S Just 6 more sleeps until the very first Throwback Thursday here at A Quarter Inch from the Edge. Want to know more? Pop on over to this post to learn some more. Hope to see you on August 6th!

  1. 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...

  3. What 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. :)

  6. Hi! 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

  7. Good 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!

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