My last post before the big day tomorrow. I promised I would show you my finished first border on Kim McLean's Hearts and Flowers quilt that I am making with Amy Butler's new Love fabrics.
I decided to change it a little from Kim's original design. Using these beautiful fabrics certainly makes for a very busy quilt, so I am leaving out all the smaller applique shapes, and using only the larger applique shapes that Kim has provided.
But for now....a wonderful & safe Christmas to all tomorrow!

Love the fabric choices!
Your quilt is coming along so beautifully, while my pile of Love sits in the closet. I have dreams of a throw quilt and pillows in Love to liven up my living room (hope the colors work)in 2010. My daughter helped me recover the dining room chairs today (well, half are done, with the rest joining them tomorrow) in a pistachio green. I never would have chosen it, but she was right. She always is. Merry CHristmas!
That is absolutely stunning Cathy.
