Edith is almost done...

[seaturtle]

...and she has grown by quite a bit. I decided to go with the plum sashing - I just cut it down to 1" instead of 2". Then I found the purple plaid on FQS to use for the border. I used the plum in between border layers to help pull it all together. I think it works. By adding the extra border layers, she ended up at about 105" square. I usually don't do square quilts, but in this case, I decided to just go with it because it is so huge already. I managed to FMQ it using a design I saw on the M* designs for quilting page. I still need to do the binding and I'm thinking of using the background beige and plum as a flange, mainly so I don't have to sew it down by hand. I can't wait to get Edith to her final resting place! Thanks for looking.

That really looks nice with the narrow plum and then the plaid. 105 square is a monster, I am sure it took some time to quilt that - turned out lovely!

Edith is lovely, and I'm not even a fan of purples.

I love the lavender border. It all came together so nicely. Good job! Edith was my grandmother's name.

That is truly a work of art. I love it. My last two projects have been that size and what a feat to finish. My computer won't let me see your quilting but I know its beautiful

Cindy, Edith is lovely. What is her pattern? I just saw a tutorial on the flange binding and I know that I will be using that in the future. So much easier than the traditional binding, and it looks fantastic.
