I think I would add a narrow blue border, then fabric squares (from the leftovers) alternating with blue squares and then again a narrow blue border-it will make the fabric squares look like they're floating around the triangles.Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245963180065978054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014265571896330704.post-57509683405289827022010-02-16T09:50:24.265-05:002010-02-16T09:50:24.265-05:00isn't it nice when a talk with your mom can ma...isn't it nice when a talk with your mom can make everything better. glad your machine is all better, that is always a bummer. that is such a pretty quilt top...i have yet to try that technique but i think i should bookmark it for trying soon.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183716038434262407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014265571896330704.post-38019138441102908242010-02-14T22:49:15.863-05:002010-02-14T22:49:15.863-05:00I know how you feel.

I had a tension problem with my old machine but the only way it could be fixed was a service. I was like you and tried all different things hoping I could fix it. Plus it always happens when you are feeling creative. Those triangle look great and your colours are gorgeous. The blue looks wonderful with the prints.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299378413584319405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014265571896330704.post-85929746661494638642010-02-13T11:26:09.796-05:002010-02-13T11:26:09.796-05:00Such a helpless feeling when your machine does not...Such a helpless feeling when your machine does not cooperate!

You did a great job and the corners look great! <br /><br />I like Catherine's idea, or, if you are tired of triangles how about a border of white (2.5)followed by a strip with random print lengths and then a blue border? That would only work if your prints are still squares :)and I would do random (3,4,5 inch) so you don't compete with the seam lines in the triangles. <br /><br />Cant wait to see what you come up with !Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489837441367884226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014265571896330704.post-24214480992947784922010-02-13T02:49:17.716-05:002010-02-13T02:49:17.716-05:00I'm glad you were able to sort out your woes e...I'm glad you were able to sort out your woes eventually and nice that you have a great relationship with your Mom too.

Then she casually asked if I had the 'little arm' attached right. I was like, HUH? WHAT LITTLE ARM!!! Worked like a charm after that!<br /><br />I would make a scrappy border to highlight the prints - otherwise I think your quilt will look too solid.amylouwhosewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739231618762913689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014265571896330704.post-41965812086595824022010-02-12T08:45:59.883-05:002010-02-12T08:45:59.883-05:00great quilt top!
