Scrappy Chevron is a Flimsy
We have had some much needed rain today so I'm sticking to indoor photos of Scrappy Chevron. I had enough background fabric left to add a 1" inner border and then searched my stash to find the green outer border.
I thought the circles on the border fabric were a nice contrast to the sharp angles in the top and I like how it brought out the greens in the blocks. I tried a few shades of teal/aqua but they just didn't look right.
Scrappy Chevron will wait on a hanger in my UFO Collection for a quilting marathon later in the year... I still can't face quilting in the heat & humidity we are experiencing!
I really like this layout and I'm sure I'll be trying it again. Now I get to dig around in my UFO Drawer for a new leader/ender project so I can start filling up the design wall again. What to pick...

Oh my - love this color palette more every picture you've posted. And the green border is great. It has a cool, relaxing feel to it - very spa-like.
ReplyDeleteGlad someone is getting rain. After a week in the upper 90's it has begun to dry out around here. We've had such timely rain all summer up until now.
I love the colours you have used for your chevrons, great quilt
ReplyDeleteDeb, I love the green border! Good choice. I love the scrappy look of the chevrons. Nice job. Looking forward to seeing it quilted. I know what you mean about the quilting. I have ten tops waiting to be shoved through my Viking!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending us the rain this week. We really needed it.

Your quilt is stunning! Love the circular green fabric.
ReplyDeleteI love the border fabric you picked....it does a good job and finishes it off well. don't wait too long to quilt it....it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI am planning to try for a leader/ender project. I've never done one before so I think I'll start with scraps for RSC! I'm going to keep a little basket of appropriate coloured scraps near my sewing table ... We'll soon see if it works for me!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for sharing your picture. This is what I am going to be making for my granddaughter for Christmas. She loves chevrons. I love your colors and the green border is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe colours in this are a favourite ; )
ReplyDeleteyou've got some great fabrics in there
ReplyDeleteHi! Great colors in this quilt top! And I love that you pulled from your stash the perfect green border! I am looking forward to seeing how this ne is quilted as I have a chevron quilt top waiting for quilting attention! Enjoy the rest of summer!
ReplyDeleteYou still amaze me. I have been a flunkie this month. No completions and lack of blogging on my part. Hopefully my schedule will slow down next month and I can get back at it. The thought of another year of UFOs is sort of depressing me.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I have triangles on my design wall that I have been waiting for an idea for. Think I will try this.
