Stained glass lap quilt- part 2

Decide to join the panels of the colourwash  with thin strips of grey patterned cotton
so that the pattern is not lost 

This is the reverse of the quilt,but I like the ridges of the seams. 

Start to construct the borders with a soft blue/grey border
 and use the remnants of the strips to make a very fine second border.
It somehow creates the effect of  a stained glass window.

I handstitch the label with the date and message. 

The finished front of  the quilt.
 It has a mesmeric effect with those waves of colour.
Time to layer it up and quilt it.
