The second border is pieced and on (it is actually square, I just need to learn to take better front-on photos ;o) ). Obviously I'm a bit obsessed with the whole text/low volume thing.
The next border is being worked on at the moment - there will be a narrow 'something' added before the triangles (not sure what yet, possibly black again?). I can't get my head around how long each of these pieced triangle strips will end up, so I'm making them first, and then I'll add the narrow 'something' (descriptive, hey?) to bring it up to the correct size. Not quite sure how I'll handle the corners either - but I think it will need to involve y-seams...
I have never enjoyed making anything quite as much as this one - it is just so much fun deciding what to do with each border.

That's the best kind of sewing! It's gorgeous. I'm so jealous of your array of texty prints :D
I love medallion quilts. Simply gorgeous!
Beautiful! I really like the patchwork borders.
Hmm, what about a slightly bigger triangle "pointing in" at each corner?? So the triangles keep turning around the quilt? Still would use Y seams I think.
ACk, it's gorgeous! This is giving me ideas for a crazy stack of charm squares I have.
Wow!! That is absolutely stunning.
Gorgeous! I am working on a similar project, just winging it! But am finding my lack of mathematical talents are letting me down! bahahhaha!
This is looking great! I love the colours and the texty prints! Good luck with corners- it could prove tricky!

Wow! it is gorgeous. I really like the patchwork and the colors are amazing.
You could do a half triangle at the end of each triangle row, then a square in the corner. Looking good anyway :o)
This is stunning! I love the combo of the low volumes with black :)
Oh Jess, this is looking awesome!
Lovely medallion quilt! Love that it is your own version!
