This is my BMO, Homeward Bound. I enjoyed making this quilt and even after quilting for fifty years I learned from Sarah Fielke. However, I needed to make my quilt larger since our fair requires a 324 inch perimeter to qualify for Grand Champion. If you win Grand Champion you proceed to a regional competition and a win there sends your quilt to a Provincial competition. (I live in Ontario, Canada). My quilt is now 89 x89. The biggest challenge was the last border. I had to call on my granddaughter with a math degree to assist me.
I really think Sarah’s pattern is prize worthy. Here’s hoping.

Helen,
Thank you so much for these suggestions. You helped me immensely months ago by suggesting a narrow border to bring the center block up to the correct size when I hadn't realized how much machine appliqué (on untreated fabric) would shrink the fabric. I might repeat the i/4 inch pink dot border around the edge. I love the narrow borders in orange you have created Thank you.

It is finally done. I used the TQS kit to make it, but used the background confetti to make the eyes of the birds, so they are a little bug-eyed. LOL. I learned a lot doing this quilt and it sharpened my quilting skills esp since I had not done applique like this before.

Woohoo, finished
Homeward Bound. I used Kaffe fabrics. Got waylaid when My husband had surgery and then we moved. Thanks to an ice storm I had time to finish the top.

Originally posted by gradyk View PostI had decided a few months ago that I would not include the last border, but looking at this photo, I think one is needed.

I was thinking of a simple keyboard border???? Not sure that would complement the overall pattern.
I would not have gotten to this point without Barbara and the forum and Sarah's beautiful pattern.Thank you all.
suggested, but that would look great too. HelenW

“And that’s a wrap”! This was a challenge at times but I love the finished quilt. I tried to make the border look somewhat like Northern Lights around the cabins. Thank you to Sarah Felke, Barbara Black and TQS for another great project.

Look at the beautiful big stitch quilting on Pick A Petal, the 2024 BOM. There are photos on the BOM page and you can see it and Jen Kingwell’s description about it on her Show.

This is my first applique quilt and I have loved it very much. I enjoy being out of my sewing room and in the living room with my family. I do not have free-motion quilting experience and do not have it in my budget for custom quilting. I have enjoyed "big stitch" quilting in the past. Has anyone considered hand quilting with Pearle cotton and a big stitch? I am currently on month 9 but am looking forward to planning the next phase! I have enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful creations.

Thank you, Barbara. I am not doing Pick a Petal, but will watch your videos anyway, as I learn so much from you. Thank you again for the past year's guidance.

Your piano key border would work. An even simpler solution is to add a pretty floral border, not real strong or busy, just something with colors that compliment your top so far.
