Well, lookie what I did today - yep, finished quilting Ursula's quilt. I decided to make the border a little funky and trimmed it with a wave, which I'm really pleased with (except one bit on the right, which needs some minor adjustments). Now I just have to make loads of bias binding to bind it. But it's nearly done. In the end, I decided to quilt it with a variety of variegated threads, wherever possible working with the block colours. I think I used about 6 or 7 different ones in the end. I think it's come out really well - from a distance, you only see the fabrics, but up close you see the texture and the fabrics, which is just what I wanted. Not sure what colour I will do the binding - kind of depends on what I have in my stash. Or perhaps I will piece it out of many different ones - it would suit the quilt, I think.

It looks great! I really like the wavy edge. I think the pieced multi color would look great for binding but I wonder if all of the seams would be hard to deal with.
Nice quilting design.
Kate you did wonderful job on Ursula's quilt. I'm sure she will love it. Thanks for putting it together and quilting it for us.
This quilt turned out really beautiful, and i love that you put a scalloped border around the squares, very creative! This may be one of my new favorites :)
It is gorgeous Kate! Well done! Ursula will love it. The border is also fitting with the island she lives on.
