Blocks in a Top

Ready to sew the last seam:

to put together the two halves of Allietare! I'm a bit late for the link-up this week, as I've been busy making a few more blocks to turn my quilt into a square. No borders yet, but here it is hanging on the line:

As I explained in the post where I chose my colour scheme, the colours are based on the view from my sewing room:

I tried to get a photo of the quilt and the view, but there is even less blue sky today than when I took the above photo in November:

But apart from the lack of blue sky, I think the colours represent the landscape fairly well.

I'm not sure what I will do about borders. Because of the measurements I used (3cms to Bonnie's inch) my blocks are about 20% larger than the pattern. So this quilt is about 1.8m square. I don't want to give it a very wide border. Not even sure what colour/s to use for the border/s. What do you think?

Some years ago I formulated "Vireya's Law of Scrap Quilts", which states that no matter how hard you try to avoid it, you will sew two pieces of the same fabric beside each other. Here's the proof:

In fact, if you look closely, that same neutral fabric appears in three different blocks in this photo!

And here's a little something I added to my quilt:

The central block has red corners, to represent the crimson rosellas which visit my birdbath every day.

Go and check out all the beautiful quilts at the Quiltville link-up this week. This has been a fun mystery, and everyone's results are wonderful!
