These are some of my blocks for this month's OMG project. The cross stitch has to be at least 10 yrs old and the fabric borders added maybe 6 yrs ago.
When I laid them all out it was just too busy and made for a too large wallhanging. So I removed the outer borders on each block and added skinny sashings (1" unfinished). Now to select some of those removed borders to make a final scrappy border. I have a backing pulled and will go with a black binding to frame it all off.
My goal was to at least get it into a flimsy, but I just might have a full finish with this one.

This looks lovely, well done on the nearly finish.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking really nice.
ReplyDeleteThe new layout is lovely and shows off the centres so well.
ReplyDeleteThat will make a lovely quilt. Good that you can use up some of the fabric you removed.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is really adorable.
ReplyDeleteI have never worked with cross stitched items before. Will you be quilting just up to the stitches or will you be going over the stitching as well?
Those are so cute! I love cross-stitch. I’m also wondering how you will quilt them.
ReplyDeleteYay for figuring out how to make this lovely cross-stitched quilt work for you!! Looking forward to seeing it finished!
ReplyDeleteMaking great progress!
ReplyDeleteYour OMG project is turning into a beautiful quilt. Love the alteration of sashing strips too...xox
ReplyDeleteI actually like your alternate plan a lot better. The skinny sashing was the perfect choice.
