Wednesday

I've almost completed the challenge quilt. After the binding is finally done, I will rinse it, remove marks, block, and think of a title for the label. Getting close.

On another subject, I want to put in a plug for this company which advertises on the Quilt Studio list page. I ordered one of their "No See 'Ums" quilt hanging systems and love it. Brackets attach to the wall either with adhesive or with screws, and then a rod goes into the quilt sleeve, and a hook slips through the fabric (no damage) and attaches to the wall bracket. Slick--nothing except the quilt is visible. Worth checking out the website for a clearer explanation. They have more traditional hangers too, but I like this one because it doesn't hide part of the quilt.

Gorgeous! I really love the tiny purple line near the border--really sets it off. Well done! Best of luck!!

I love it Kay! the extra time spent on that border was well worth it. It's really lovely. I can't get over how great that challenge fabric looks.

Oh, Kay ... this is exquisite. I think the challenge fabric is just awful, but you've made it a perfect focal point with your other color choices. I love that you let it have its spotlight, but the other colors and design stand up to it beautifully. The workmanship and special touches like scalloped border and purple-piped edge are perfect. What great choices you made, all 'round.
