As much as I would love to be very creative, the fact is, I am not. I am a great copier, I can see a great idea and copy it, but I always find it harder to go beyond the original.
This quilt top was a kit. I don't often buy kits, but it was on sale and I had a $10 coupon for the store, so I decided to try it. I thought it was a panel quilt kit, but it wasn't, but it was still pretty easy. Then I found corresponding fabric from the same line from another source, which also was on sale and I had another $10 coupon from this store too, so I bought the fabric thinking that I could use it to enlarge the quilt, or at worst, use it to back the quilt.
So the second picture is what I came up with, after consulting with some other quilting ladies on quiltingboard.com and with my husband. I kind of like it, I think. I think I might embroider some scrolling or flowers on the 'L' shaped white border in the near future, but it did enlarge the quilt from a wall hanging sized quilt to almost a twin sized topper quilt, which is what I wanted. I like the 'A' symmetrical design, something off-centered is nice, almost like a real flower arrangement.
I would enjoy any comments you have after reading and viewing these pictures.
