Improv....Technique 5.....Borders


Remember this Improv Quilt Top?

Pick Up Stix


30 blocks

measures  36 x 30 inches


I am impelled to give it a border treatment...




Last summer I did some thickened dye

screen printing:


This piece of screen printed fabric

might work for a border treatment...




I sliced it up into 6 inch strips...

I like it better already!





I auditioned strips on two sides 

of the pick up stix top...

I am liking it!



Here is the Pick Up Stix top:


This just screams.....FUN !





The X's and O's in the border

go great with the Pick Up Stix...





I am thinking.....baby quilt.

Need to find a backing.

I will post images when I get it under the needle.
