Month 9 Border
Well, I'm bummed that we weren't given the alternative pattern for this last border of the BOM. :? Pat Holly told me last month that they had designed an alternative flower to replace the "2013" for those not wanting to put that on their quilt. Boo, I guess I'm going to have to get my pencil and paper out and see what I come up with! LOL, a designer I am NOT! :roll:Tags: None

Rosamond, I am also planning to replace the "2013". After putting so much work into this quilt I would rather have it seem "timeless." I've been scouring my Pinterest pages for bright ideas for replacements. Probably will be several flowers smooshed together somehow...

Originally posted by gynconnieGood pickup, Andree! I had completely overlooked the difference between the quilt photo and the pattern. Haven't decided yet how much of this month's border I'm going to change, but I'm actually kind of excited about doing it (famous last words?)!
I will change the flower so that the inner petals are offset from the outer petals (to look more like the quilt), but to make sure i do not bite into the inner when I stitch the outer, I have printed the pattern "fit to page" just for this shape, which is 94% - it makes the inner petal not even one eight of an inch smaller, just enough so the stiches don't overlap.
Can wait to see what you come up with, as the center of the top border (and how much change you will make overall!).

I haven't started on this month's border yet, but I have been considering what I can do to take the 2013 out of the border. I think I've figured out what I'm going to do... It always kind of seemed strange to me that the vine for the top border sort of appeared from thin air. So, I am thinking that if I flip the border as designed, the 3 little leaves which form a sort of flower would be on the end of the border instead of in the center. I would then need to switch the birds so that they are facing the correct way. That takes care of the outer parts of the border. Now for the center. It should work just to continue the u shaped vine with another "hump." Add another flower (be it the same as the rest of the border or one from another border) and there you have it! I haven't drawn it out but I really think it will work and will look good. The other thing I might change are the leaves. I'm not loving these rounded leaves. :? Maybe I'll do a mixture of leaves from the other borders. Now I'm getting excited to get it started! :lol:

This is the border that I came up with. I hope you can make sense of the photo. Like I said earlier, the first picture shows how I flipped the design so that the 3 leaves are the end of the border instead of in the middle. As you can see where I redrew the bird, I flipped the bird so that it's looking to the center.
The second picture shows the small amount of re-drawing that I had to do in order to get the vine/flower section to flow in order to place it in the middle of the border. I had to adjust it just a tad on the right hand side, but as picture 3 shows, it lined up almost perfectly on the left side.

I am going to leave the middle section blank for now, because I plan on putting my daughter's wedding date and their names in there. It will be their wedding present!
Another idea is to put in the pot and flowers from the bottom border.
Or maybe a large flower surrounded by 4 small one, in a diamond pattern.... like this
