  1. I think the orange is a great frame, and even with all your talk of the gray, the way you incorporated it into your addition really does keep the orange from overwhelming the calmer center. I hope we get to see how all these quilt finish up when the tops go through their final additions!

  2. Good call on the orange!! It’s amazing. I like the delectable mountains…I need to try this block.

    Looks fantastic, it sure did brighten up the rest of the quilt!
    Love your blog, Molli it always brings a smile and a laugh, if you ever write a book I’ll be buying it for sure!!! Keep up the good work

    I like the border you’ve added. It has changed the look and feel of the quilt quite dramatically so I guess it may cause strong reactions – either positive or negative – from those who have gone before you. ‘Twill be interesting to see what the next border is like.

  5. Kate says:

    I LOVE this!! It’s gorgeous <3

  6. Susan K says:

    I love the orange! It sings and sparkles and without the “boring” gray center wouldn’t be as fabulous. Good call. Can’t wait to see the next project.

  7. Nadja says:

    Really nice! The pattern makes the colors really pop.

  8. Hayley says:

    I LOVE what you’ve done. The orange is a perfect compliment and the structure of your border balances the improv bits. I’d steal it given the chance!

  9. Sue says:

    I love that splash of orange and coral with the improv centre. It’s the perfect foil. Good call – hope your bee mates think so

  10. Alyce says:

    Oh yes, that’s set it on fire!

    Seeing the quilt with your fabulous border, I can’t imagine it without it. I like your ideas for the next border, too. You have such a great vision, which is something I lack. Well done, Molli!

  12. Kath S says:

    Absolutely incredible!! What an inspirational transition – I love it! I want one too!!!

    I wish I was a boy because I want to join your club. Oh well. This quilt is rad dude. Love it! I love orange. I want to make that block so thanks for sharing.

  14. Brenda says:

    I love where this quilt is going. But I have to ask whether you let your tea brew a little bit too long.

  15. Pip says:

    I think you nailed it, the quilt needed that extra orange zing.

  16. Ken Casey says:

    It’s WONDERFUL! The oranges/corals make this quilt sing! GREAT call Molli!

  17. Love your addition! You were smart to do the HST and QST blocks in the corners…taking the DM around the corners is really hard…I ended up making them paper pieced in the quilt I made…ugh!

    I’m guessing they planned this for you just so you could have this moment of glory – you’ve got a great bunch of bee mates 😉

    love love love this quilt top

  20. Lisa says:

    I have to say that I like the middle panel of this quilt and I like the wavy greyness that surrounds it, but it is the flamboyant orange border that sets that middle panel to singing .

  21. Jayne says:

    I doubt anyone will complain about your border…it is the perfect addition, so right!

  22. Rebecca says:

    Exactly what it needed now it’s sparking!

  23. Kathleen says:

    I like the sparkle you added! I hope you can show us a pic when it’s finished so we can see how the others followed through.
