I love this week's quilt. I really, Really, REALLY love this week's quilt.
I made this week's quilt with the bits leftover from this Fenced In quilt:
I sewed four-patches as long as the scraps lasted and came up with a small quilt top. The four-patch top was very simple but I wanted to play with thread to see how I could let the quilting change the look of the quilt:
I used WonderFil Tutti TU07 Oranges in the top and DecoBob DB138 Soft Gold in the bobbin. I stitched a continuous curve in the large black squares and filled the curves with ribbon candy. I love ribbon candy! I stitched a continuous curve in each of the small squares and left them unfilled:
I am teaching myself to bind by machine and the WonderFil DecoBob DB101 Black thread hides well in the binding:
Did you notice that I snuck more ribbon candy into the black inner border? I even filled those ribbon candies with double loops. I am hopelessly addicted to ribbon candy! I stitched simple swirls in the outer border since the quilting wasn't going to show much.
Can you guess why I named this quilt "Irresistible"?
A. I can never resist Ribbon Candy quilting?
B. I can't resist using lovely thread?
C. I used CheezIts fabric on the back and they are my own personal Kryponite

Marjorie,
I have a really awful (as in, you can't see anything) YouTube video about that border design here:

If you want to actually learn it, though, the fine folks at Craftsy did an excellent job with cameras and lighting. If you go to debbybrownquilts.com and click the "$20 Off my Craftsy Class" button, you should get the class for $19.99.
