Quick Post, Then Out The Door!

I’ll be off to the airport in a few ---- Boy, is it a GLORIOUS April Saturday Morning out there!

I finished quilting Florabunda ----but I couldn’t photograph until this morning when there was daylight on the deck…but not too much, gotta catch it while it is still shady! And now that the trees have leaves, my opportunities are much better than when the trees were still nekkid – just sayin’!

Adding another piece of batting wasn’t a big deal, I even had a scrap piece big enough. I don’t use that iron on tape stuff --- I don’t want glue in my quilt, I don’t know how it is going to age or yellow or get hard or crack or stain over time. I prefer to just simply whipstitch with large stitches….It was about 100” of basting, and it only took me 3 songs on my ipod….it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Don’t you LOVE this texture?

florabunda 042

I don’t remember the name of the pattern, I don’t have time to look it up right now, but remind me another time and I will find it ---it’s a leaf and a swirl thing.

florabunda 043

I just love how the yellows change and how the florals blend into each other, and even the ugly ones are NOT THAT BAD! Right? RIGHT?!?

florabunda 044

And see --- that pieced backing isn’t so bad either. It’s that Paris fabric that is kind of…ehhhhhh? But the patchwork bits tie the backing to the front!

Now I’m wondering about binding……It could go so many ways, and while I was quilting, I was pulling samples to see what might work:

florabunda 045

With the red in the back, I was thinking even red as binding? Love a red binding --- but does it do what it needs to to the front?

jubilee 016

I could go hot pink?

jubilee 017

Or a deep purple with little teal leaves?

jubilee 018

And then there is Periwinkle. What’s not to like about a color called Periwinkle? Who made up that name anyway? LOVE it!

((It’s reading more blue here, but it really is purple-ish))

So let’s end this with a POLL! Which color would YOU bind it with? I don’t want any more yellow…..and I don’t want a scrappy binding because it will disappear against the border. I want one color, one fabric on the edge --- of the above 4 what would you choose?

And I’m off to throw the last things in the suitcase and get my butt to Delaware!

Happy Saturday, Everyone!

  1. I'm seeing a blue binding.... like the sky surrounding the sun and protecting the flowers.... or is that too deep for this early in the morning. :o)

    Safe trip!

  2. very nicely done. I voting for the darker burgundy or the darker purple ( I would pick the burgundy- I don't care for purple) - but it looks nice with this, so either of the two.

  3. I vote for the deep purple with teal leaves. Looks great

    Bonnie, I'm liking the periwinkle for binding. On a color wheel it is kinda sorta across from the yellow making for good pop, but also blends with all the blues in your florals.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I vote periwinkle. It will pick up those lighter bluey/purple pieces of the lighter blocks.
    Oh, and WHAT ugly floral? LOL! No such thing - especially when it's cut that small and there are so many different ones.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I vote for the dark purple, too.

  7. I like the purple too. I'm more of a 'go with blue when in doubt', but the purple speaks to me. Have a great trip.

    Deep purple w/ teal leaves..just the thing for yellow and the various lavendars in the top fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'm voting for the 1st one, red or burgandy. I feel it will not clash with the back or the front since they both have a shading of that color. Bind it with whatevery sings to your heart. It is very pretty.

  10. I vote for purple....then I vote for sending it to me!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Periwinkle for sure! And not just because it's my "color" (you know, the one color that you look your absolute best in) lol. I think they others are too dark, but the periwinkle plays perfectly with the rest of the top, imo.

  33. Really looks nice, that looks like a jacobs ladder pattern. I would use the dark purple since it calms frames it nice.

  34. If it were my quilt for the binding, black or maybe a dark gray, either would frame such a busy quilt nicely I think! I don't think the florals are ugly at all Turned out nice, Bonnie.

  41. It's fabulous Bonnie! I think it needs the deep purple binding. Whichever you choose is going to be perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  42. The red, because there is red in the back also. Or, I really like the idea of a dark green to accentuate the flower garden feel of the quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I like the deep purple myself. I'm always amazed that taking all those different fabrics and putting them together creates such a beautiful quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Periwinkle shines like a little stream of blue sky against all the yellow sun and flowers

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'd go purple. I loved it the minute I saw it, before you even asked our opinions, I was going to give mine :-) Have a wonderful trip!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hands down..Red/Burgundy! Beautiful job, Bonnie....

    ReplyDelete
  47. when I look at the first photos of the quilt I see it mostly as a purple and gold quilt - so I vote for the deep purple binding :)

    Love from Indiana! ~bonnie

    ReplyDelete
  48. Well, I am quite certain that it MUST be that dark red. Just ignore what everyone else has said. Really. It's that red that does the trick. Honest. Take it from me. I wouldn't lead you astray. Do the red thing. Red. Red. Red.

  53. I like either the purple or periwinkle. I think I will have to give this quilt a try, I have found that the way I buy fabrics and the way I use fabrics are very different. I love a beautiful mid to large scale floral, but I prefer to quilt with tone on tone or small scale prints. It is all that I can do to keep beautiful floral prints out of my cart.

    Wow...such a range of comments and colour choices. I would go with the red. I think it would compliment both sides of the quilt. I believe in not forgetting the backing. Your binding should compliment it too. The red also pops some small amounts of red in the quilt top. Good luck!!!

    I think a yellow binding would be perfect, but since you don't want yellow, how about green? Green seems to be the dominant color of your backing and it would pick up the green in the leaves on the front. If I had to pick from your 4 choices I would go with the purple.

  72. Well, you know that I ALWAYS go for anything to do with the color purple! But in this case, I think the periwinkle (which is a lighter purple) would be the best choice!

    Safe travels my friend!!!

  73. I vote Periwinkle. It's just a beautiful color and the and it matches the sheets on my bed.

    I have an unrelated question. I went to my local goodwill yesterday and got something over 25 pounds of mens shirts to begin de-boning. (Loved your video tute!!) My question is are all the the shirts you use 100% cotton, or do you throw in a poly/cotton blend if you just can't pass up the color? I found a couple of hybrids that just worked perfectly with the color schemes I'm planning. In a normal quilt I would only use 100% quilt shop quality cotton, but in a scrappy, shirt quilt I'm just not sure. Thanks for the input and think periwinkle!!

  75. I like the periwinkle if it goes with the back, otherwise the purple.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I seem to be in the minority, but I like the pinky red better. It seems to brighten the quilt to me, but then I am looking at my computer monitor that isn't necessarily giving me a true color. My second choice would be the periwinkle.

    I would suggest black, as the fabric we see in the block with the white and pink flowers, for the binding. And it would go with your Paris fabric in the back.

    It is hard to choose when we don't have the quilt in hand.

    I am sure you will find the right color when you come back.

  156. I love, love ,love periwinkle, but in this case I gotta go with purple.
    I see no ugly fabric in this little beauty. You amaze and inspire me.

  157. Red! I like the red best. It's a classic binding....the other colors are beautiful but maybe distracting from the quilt...they deserve attention of their own (esp that periwinkle!)...and I would want people concentrating on the quilt. That periwinkle and hot pink deserve more regal status than binding!:) Just sayin....

  162. Is it too late to vote? I like the purple with the teal leaves. Adds a red note that compliments the backing fabrics but also adds a purple note that goes with some of the light purples on the front. It's also strong enough to add definition to the edge scrappy edge.
