The quilt that DIDN'T get the crayon border


This is the quilt that I intended to use the Crayon border for - I liked how this circle print looked a lot better. My sister quilted this one and it will be donated to the local Ronald McDonald house through my guild.

There's nothing like a homemade quilt when you have to stay at Ronald MacDonalds - this is just perfect! I love the pattern, colours, border and quilting.

I agree, I like this border much better. A nice bright quilt and black to boot.

Ronald McDonald is such a great cause! This quilt will really brighten someone's stay - and I do like the swirly border better than the crayons - but the crayons looked really good on the flying geese! Amazing how fabric choices will really change the look of an entire top.

Chesty is looking better - I see his fur has grown back where the stitches were.

And, sorry about your computer files - I spent a few days this past winter backing up all my photos - I would be so sad if I lost them!

Cheers!
