I’m working on  my 3rd borders of LE this is 2 of 4;  2 more to complete????  I have iron on stabiliser on the back of the panels to stop them from twisting as silk does and this makes for a good foundation as well.  This will be a Coverett not a quilt.

Closer view of this border this is the easy part making all the wee flowers for inside these Zig Zags and Dutch Pixies is were all the hard work starts!!!!!

Bak ground fabric is quiet heavy due to the embossed weaving not that easy to appliqué on to?????

    I agree the little flowers in the middle of the borders are the most time consuming and difficult! That’s what I’m working on now and its taking a really long time. Will link up to WOW with my progress tomorrow.

    The area you live in is beautiful! I especially like the flowers and the birds.

    love, love your flowers. Your LE is coming along nicely – I got mine out today to look at it and I’m finally feeling better since we got home – I might – might – get started on some flowers for vase #3 – seeing the completed version on Esther’s blog made me look at it again LOL

    Glenda, your ET is so colorful, it is going to be wonderful when completed. Are you going to make the whole quilt or just the center section? Your flowers are so pretty. Enjoy your spring! Blessings, Gretchen
