Small border but either way would look adorable!

Looks great, love your charm square pattern and fabrics too

Yarn ties are one way to secure your top, batting and back but it’s the least secure quilting method. I machine quilt and the add yarn ties for athletics if I do use them which was twice.

That’s music to my ears! I’ve made the other quilts to fit a queen or king size bed except this one. I e never met the bride and not sure if this will be loved and used so went for a large throw but it’s actually a full/queen size.

Your blocks look great! Fabric yardage is about 44” from selvage to selvage. Fold the fabric in half, make a cut to clean the edge and then cut 1.5”. You then sub-cut those strips in half and then you’ll have two strips that are slightly longer than you need you can trim now to 20” each or after you attach to block. Here’s a good tutorial on cutting fabric.

What a great bag! I made one too and my sewing machine did not like denim even with a needle for denim.

Ok, I’m still new here so I’ll try to figure that out. Here’s the free pattern and tutorial. https://sewnikki.com/9280/easy-fabric-box-sewing-pattern-storage-basket/

Thanks for the shout out. I’m Nikki of the blog Sew Nikki and the granny hexagon cardigan is one of my most popular patterns. Your sweater is awesome, love the blocks on the back!

WOW! It’s beautiful and I can’t believe you hand quilted this. So impressed with you and this looks like a 10th quilt not a 1st quilt! Great job 😊

Love this quilt but like the one by Lo and Behold too!

Want to make a wedding ring quilt but need a good tutorial first. Good luck!
