Weblog and Idea Spot for Quilters

03 June 2010

Modified Maple Rails

Several people suggested deleting the half leaves from around the center medallion, so I gave that a whirl....



...but my (re)take on it was to give the inner border more of a pop. So I went with purple after Teresa suggested the same idea...



They both have promise, but I really like the look of the leaves partially under the medallion in the center. Of course, Babs is the one who makes the final decision - by now she's probably thought up something else entirely!

  1. the one in the previous post that had the brown sash also had a bit of a natural sash as well. That being said, I do think the purple is better but I also like the half leaves removed. No help am I?

  2. oooooohhh!!! We're going with the purple AND the 1/2 leaves...I love it!

    you know you're going to have to help me lay this all out- right? I think this will have to be August's meeting project for me. .

  6. This has so much punch! What a gorgeous quilt. I too think the purple was a good idea for the inner border.

    I really admire your precise piecing too....one of the reason I became a crazy quilter is that I cannot sew in a straight line.
