The past week was unexpectedly productive for me, ending with three finished quilt tops. I added the border and prepared the back for my 16-Patch Stars quilt, which you can see here. I also finished putting together the top for my Dutch Tiles quilt which I showed in this blog post.
The third quilt was Bowtie Chevrons. This was a quick finish because I had made most of the blocks last year when I was making a baby quilt. They just needed to be joined together. Yesterday I made the last few blocks, stitched them all together, and added the borders. Here's a shot with the two fabrics I was considering for borders. I'll have a photo of the completed top in tomorrow's post.
Outgoing:
16-Patch Stars border and back 5.75
Bowtie Chevrons--10 blocks, borders 1.25
Used this week: 7.0 yards

I like the red border best, but then I'm biased... red's my favorite color. The blue would look good, too. (That doesn't help you much. LOL) A great quilt either way.

I agree with Terri - the red sets it off the best. True the blue looks good but I think the red is better. And I generally love blue better so the red must be better. :) ~Melanie
