I ♥ it. As if this quilt could be any happier, that border did it. :)
Perhaps I will get it quilted this week.
I have the backing and binding fabric ready to go- now I just need the final push to get it done.
I also finished the black and white quilt. Woo Hoo!
In fact it has been all wrapped up and sent to Kitty, its new owner.
Kitty has a beautiful house in the mountains of NC, and she wanted a black/white/lime quilt to ward off the chilly mountain air in the evenings.
I think she is going to love it- at least I hope so!
She gave me total creative freedom and has no idea what it is going to look like so I am anxious to hear what she thinks.
I really like how it turned out, especially the back. That black dot fabric is so cute and the lime stripe just pops.
I also included my first label! (About time, I know!)

Love them both! Love the border on the dresden quilt especially. Looks like summer to me. Have fun at the meeting tomorrow
Both quilts are beautiful! I love the black/white/lime combo, and the dresden quilt is so happy.
Happy WIP Wednesday! The B/W quilt is gorgeous, and I love the label! I need to try that :)
The piano key border is PERFECT. You've inspired me to keep working on my dresden quilt! And I love the colors you used on the other quilt :)
love your label honey! very proud of you.
I love the brightness and happiness of the dresden quilt. The piano key border is absolutely perfect. It is beautiful.
LOVE the dresden quilt! It's so happy - and the border is just perfect! Also love the black and white with the green...what about Citron Oreos?? Or Piano Lime?? Maybe Lime Cabin since it's going to a mountain home and the blocks are sort of a modern log cabin? I'm just spouting off from the top of my head :). Whatever you call it - it's gorgeous and I'm sure she'll love it!
BTW, I registered for Sewing Summit! I'm so excited and can hardly believe I'm going! It's going to be a great weekend!
You're right that Dresden border is awesome!
Love how your Dresden is looking, the border is perfect and it definitely makes me smile, such a happy quilt! And your black, white and lime quilt turned out so fab! I'm sure its new owner will be totally thrilled with it!

Your B&W and lime quilt turned out just awesome!! I'm thinking Kiwi Burst! :) It's fresh & juicy with a little blast of lime!
My quilt name votes are for either "Who needs a Margarita?!" or "Key Lime-y Goodness".
Love them both, but the dresden takes first prize in the feel-good quilt race!
Love the Dresden and the black and white quilt! Yay on finishes!

Be still, my heart. The piano key border was a fantastic idea!

I love both your quilts. The piano key border on the Dresdens is perfect. I love the backing on Kitty's quilt, simple but so effective.
They are both fantastic! Wish my week was as productive ;)
I love the piano key border!!!! Perfect. And thanks for the link to the label tutorial. I absolutely must start labeling things I make. I like how yours looks! Hugs!
Your dresden is lovely and so cheery! You are good to do quilt labels... I really should do this but haven't gotten my act together.
