Here I have added a 1.5" inner border and a skinnier orange border before I started adding my orange and cream flying geese border. The black inner border added just the right number of inches to make the geese border come out just right.
The geese have flown into the right formation!
Next came a strip set of cream, orange and another cream for the outer borders. The corner stones in checked orange and black pull it all together. The black binding completes this wall hanging at about 38 x 32.
And of course it had to have some fun custom quilting! I like to keep the interior panel piece simple with hook swirl freehand quilting.
The borders got the fun stuff quilted on them. My favorite ones to do are the U turns in the orange geese and a loop in the cream geese. Another favorite is the ribbon candy that encompassed the orange and cream strip borders that is centered in between some straight line quilting.
I will definitely use this border treatment again on another panel. In fact it might be used on the identical panel that I found in my stash. I either forgot I had bought one before heading to Paducah or I just really like it that much I bought another, LOL Well the other one has a black background so it will look a bit different;)
I did get some sewing done this weekend-on other upcoming projects. I hope you managed to get some in also. It was so humid here it was no fun to go out and do anything. Oh wait I have one more thing to show you that I made this weekend.
I have been wanting to get back at beading bracelets. There are so many cute ones on pinterest and this was a pattern from Reggies Creations on Etsy. So I decided to purchase the pattern after discovering I had some beads that would work perfectly! It was fun and easy to do. A nice break from sewing too:)
