Possible ideas take a more concrete form when it's something I'm working on myself. But I feel free to ignore or revise their suggestions and hope they do the same with mine. They're only ideas.<br />YOU are one of the quilters I cited in this article who's put words on quilts. In fact, you have several of them. Of course, it's a treat when you join in. You have such creative interpretations.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-39512467208334692442017-07-26T12:01:19.288-05:002017-07-26T12:01:19.288-05:00Thanks, Maureen.

But first, I'll cut up blue fabric into pennants.<br />At least you've made one quilt with words. I've always been interested. Even when I first started quilting I thought about a border with my name (like Gertrude's.) This will be a good kick-in-the-pants for me and hopefully encourage others to try. Once I started looking I was amazed how many interesting ways there are to add words and letters.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-21374559648216601332017-07-26T00:03:53.058-05:002017-07-26T00:03:53.058-05:00Your border is definitely looking peppier now!

It's just too busy for my eyes. I like the pennants as they are. And adding a border of some fabric means you only have to make a few more with those reds you cut. How about a yellow print? Letters are on my bucket list. I'll move them to #1 spot so I can do some on a quilt this quarter.
