Elderberry Top

 



Amongst other things I got the Elderberry top done today.  First I finished the blocks.  Then I sewed them into 4's.  I don't like laying out a bunch of little blocks, so I sewed them into this larger unit first.  Once in Foursies, there are only 12 units to lay out and sew together.  I was able to keep the quilt random enough for my taste using this method.  And there are a lot fewer stoops and stops and starts. 

I am trying to decide if it needs a border.  I would like it a bit bigger, but not sure if the aqua or brown would be best, if anything at all.

Now, to start the next batik--this one a little Angel Face from Anthology.

Today's best....finishing a quilt top.
