It's Throwback Thursday week again -- 2016 is really flying by!! Be sure to check out Quarter Inch from the Edge for the monthly TBT event when we get to show quilts from our past.
When I made the quilt, I remember struggling with choosing a border fabric. Then I saw this fabric.
The design of the fabric was a perfect size with some fussy cutting to help extend the block pattern into the border. It was nothing like I imagined. Sometimes, a fabric just finds the quilt!!!

This quilt, entitled World Without End, was made in 2004; and was included in two of my books, "Traditional Two-Block Quilts" and on the cover of "Terrific Two-Block Quilts". It is 36"x 36".

Something about this quilt reminds me of a native medicine wheel. I can't really say what exactly. Perhaps the colour palette. Thanks for linking up with Throwback Thursday @ A Quarter Inch from the Edge!
Amazing how that border fit the quilt! I remember when there were lots of striped printed fabrics to make fussy-cut borders. It was challenging but fun to figure out how to use them. I liked the two-block quilts, too, and all of the secondary patterns that came out depending on what fabrics were used. Thanks for sharing!
It's a lovely quilt. I particularly enjoy looking at the fabrics and how the change over the years. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not sure you could have found a more perfect fabric for that border. I love how the blocks come together to give the appearance of a circular shape.
Beautiful quilt!
The way those blocks spill into the borders looks really interesting - I love the effect it has! Thanks for linking to MCM. :)
