Here's where I left off in my last blog post. Since then I have finished the top, but I am jumping ahead. Follow me through my steps and some of my thought processes. Even though I like things with only two borders it just didn't feel right for this quilt. It needed something else. I cut the floating sections out of the remaining fabric first just to make sure that I would have enough. Then I decided to do another sawtooth border, but just smaller. So I added that on.
I really liked that way that looked and made the decision not to add anything else to the bottom. Now, all I needed were the corner pieces and to sew what I had onto the top.
I like that, now if I have enough of the burgundy left, I will add a small border and . . .
DONE!! Well, except for the quilting. It needs something simple I think. It is much larger than the 12 x 12 so this one will stay here for sure (unless it tells me that it needs to go live with someone else, but for now, it will stay here)

I am so glad that you did the process behind the piece. I think it helps us to understand the thoughts that create the piece.
this is another one I love. The fabrics are beautiful. Your creation is wonderful!
Thanks, glen
Thank you so much for sharing the process. I really like this quilt.
Looks great! Thanks for the peek into your process. I love the dreamy tones of the batiks, so pretty.
That tiny sawtooth border is perfect...it frames without overwhelming your beautiful star.
THis turned out so marvelously. I am sure it would live in house OK. Maybe 12X12 is only a suggestion. So beautiful! Bonnie
Really nice Nathalie! It has a shimmery quility that I love! and the final burgundy border hugs it nicely, well done!
Beautiful colours - love the burgundy with the others. It's actually saying it wants to live with me, can you not hear it?
Great colors!
That turned out very well indeed! What a great little composition.
