Quilt Group likes the effect and they wonder if I can duplicate the result on the "unprinted" white squares. They say - quilt it. I am thinking - replace the white squares and big white borders. The final border is 2 rows of pieced triangles.

So - what do you think?

NOT that I have any time for quilting right now. It is brush burning season and I am staying busy outside gathering up deadfall and burning brush. My old apple trees take a beating in the winter winds. I burn in a barrel - being near the water - even on a perfectly calm day, the wind kicks up when the tide changes. Nice and contained in the barrel! I am always amazed at the huge amount of brush a hot fire can burn in the course of one afternoon! Lots of my neighbors are burning their lawns, but that just makes me nervous.

Hi Evelyn,
Wow, that's pretty neat!!! Depends what the quilt was originally supposed to be for, but I think it'd be interesting to leave it as-is and finish it that way, not replace the printed pieces. It would be sort of an 'artifact.'

I have never seen anything like that happen before. Is the plaid fabric mainly homespuns? I like the effect and would leave it if I could.
I would keep it as is. It has a story. I think it's pretty awesome.
Interesting and I think I would just leave it. It adds mystic and individuality to the quilt.
I would leave it as is. I like it, adds character to the quilt and could be a great conversation starter.
