I squared up the garden trellis blocks to 11 1/2 inches, a step the Jelly Roll Quilts book doesn’t mention but which seemed essential as many of the blocks weren’t at all true.
Assembled Garden Trellis Blocks in Hoffman Bali Pops Cappucino
I am planning a narrow (1 inch or so) inner border in a bricky red/orange and then a wider black border around that. These are the fabrics I’ve selected.
Border Colours
The log cabin blacks have also been sewn together. But that’s a post for another day.
Very pretty!
But not too pretty I hope. I have one male friend who has just purchased a new condo and another who turns 40 next year. This quilt might become a house warming gift or a birthday gift. Pam the long arm quilter has a bit of a backlog and some travel plans later this year so the birthday gift might be the better bet.
Sorry…but guys like pretty things too. They just don’t admit it! :)
