Phebe - "Frames" 14 and 15


Here's Phebe as of a few hours ago! I'm still not so sure about the fabric I chose to use in the setting triangles and spacer strip but I felt it was the best choice. The seams are noticeable and, I didn't think this one through, I should have cut each setting triangle exactly the same.

I did have to make the spacer strip wider than the pattern calls for since my star border is longer than it should be. I have one more strip of fabric to add and then I plan to check if anything needs tweeking.

My goal is to finish Phebe by the end of the month and I think I'm going to make it!

Until next week, Mayleen

This is just gorgeous! You've put in so much work. I've only recently fallen for the quilts of this era, and yours is a beautiful example.
