I agree with you I think I would leave out the outside border and do something else and let the center of the quilt do the singing for you. The tiny heart border on the little quilt is adorable too.I enjoy the hand work of applique and hand quilting. I don't use a hoop for applique either...I find it just gets in the way! Good luck getting this UFO to completion.

You ...Your blocks are looking fantastic, Lea Anne! You know you're making me feel guilty, now, because your My Tweets UFO is reminding me of my own hand applique UFO from one of Erin's BOMs, the Jingle BOM that I started last year. I finished all of the blocks, but then like you I decided I didn't want to follow the suggested layout and I kind of petered out in design confusion about what I wanted to do and stuck the blocks on a shelf while I started new projects. It doesn't help that I'm pretty sure one of the fabrics that I used for my berries and birds in EVERY SINGLE BLOCK is going to bleed all over the background when the finished quilt is washed. That really saps my motivation, you know? Yet I keep on using fabric without checking for colorfastness first, so go figure! Congratulations for getting your mojo back on this one, and good luck seeing it through to the end, purple and all!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-36062573290280444942014-10-01T18:39:39.765-04:002014-10-01T18:39:39.765-04:00It looks lovely, even for purple.

I was driving home, and there, in the soggy bleak gray world, was a riot of purple crocuses. They were just what I needed, and I've loved purple ever since then. Maybe some day you'll have a day like that - maybe not. If you really hate those blocks when they're all done, I'll gladly take them off your hands! momto1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08078861827642401321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-79301357732635114202014-09-29T16:08:09.734-04:002014-09-29T16:08:09.734-04:00Really beautiful work, Lee Anne.
