The YEG Quilter Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 The Secret Garden was a quilt that has taken me beyond my anywhere I have gone before. I am not always a patient quilter, the faster its done, the better so this being slow work was hard to wrap my brain around. It was a lot of fun and I am pleased with the results.

The YEG Quilter Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks everyone! Truly overwhelmed by your replies! Regarding how I did the border: I drew a grid on a 45 degree angle as I moved down the quilt. I used a blue wash away marker from Clover. Then I stitched continuous curves from intersection to intersection. Once those were stitched I then free motioned swirls inside the diamond shape that the CC'S created. When I was at the top of the quilt I questioned my sanity,but as the pattern appeared I saw how pretty it looked and this kept me motivated to finish it.
