Sorry about the view of my toes....lol!!
I finished stitching down the eagle for the most part & decided to have a look at the other part of my project that spurred me to take this on in the first place. It's from a Bargello leftover. These days I don't throw anything away. After looking at the two together I knew it needed something. Mr. Cowboy strolled by & also noted that it needed something. So I decided to sleep on it. You know that things come to us quilters while we sleep.....hehehe!
After a couple of nights sleep I came up with the solution below.
I added a strip withe the words " Land of the Free" to divide the two. Mr. Cowboy was pleased & gave me two thumbs up.
All I need to do next is add a border. Stay tuned.
I saw this little funny on someone's blog & thought I'd re-share it.
Ah! a brilliantly simple solution - my favorite kind!
ReplyDeleteSpot on. Isn't it great we can solve issues while sleeping. Sometimes I wake up in the night and find solutions to things I didn't even know I was looking for. Your project looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh my stinking gosh....I am in awe of this quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat's perfect. It looks wonderful. I chuckled at the cartoon too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great addition. The words really help tie together the two parts of the quilt. Love the chuckle too.
ReplyDeleteLove your solution!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic Rhonda. Adding the words just makes it all come together. I really love it.
ReplyDeleteFunny cartoon---but sounds just about right.LOL
I liked the layout in the first photo, but REALLY like the second version. Obviously worth a two thumb's up!
ReplyDeleteVery Beautiful!

If I had more than 2 thumbs, I'd up 'em! That is a wonderful quilt, and the perfect solution with the two pieces. I love this one!
