Help! I need motivation ! Any hints?

[wendy w.]

Well Rosemary you have the opportunity to have fun. Why not make it a his and hers quilt. The side you have done is lovely and pretty, change to plainer or less flowery fabrics for the other half?

Go on you can finish it

[wendy w.]

It is not so much a 'his n her's' quilt as a 'hers n hers' quilt the frogs in the middle of the square in square blocks started out life as a pair of my summer culottes 8) and there is still traces of paper tissue stuck to the pocket pieces to prove it :lol: (and no I don't have any photos of me wearing them, so you will just have to use your imagination :wink: )

The funny thing is that DH thought that the dogrose side was 'loud' - until he saw the frogs & fishes :lol:

[wendy w.]

OK! I wanted to finish this top, this summer and it is finally done. Quilting yet to come.

[Annis C.]

Yes Karen, the ribbon is appliqued. I did the pieced part of that border, then added the whole piece--straight seam. Then I went back and appliqued the ribbon. I did one set of bows for the corners and hated them and so I ripped them off and started again. I like the new bows so much better.
