I eliminated some of the prints from the last post and went looking through my stash for more border options. I also started looking for the perfect backing (since that seems to be a tough decision for me).
What do you think of these border options? I am certain of the red for the first border, but I am leaning toward one of the green prints on the left for the second border. Leave me a comment and let me know which one is your favorite.
This pattern is from McCall's Quilting November/December 2011. I think it would also make a great tree skirt.
Stop over to Judy L's to see what others are working on this week.
3 more sleeps and I will be off to a quilting retreat with around 80 other quilters. I have my projects picked and packed. I tried not to pack too much this time. I am always afraid that I will run out of projects to work on, but this time I tried to be conservative.
This will make a great tree skirt! I really like the colors you used. The print on the lower left is my favorite. It really pulls out some of the colors in the star. Beautiful.
ReplyDeletelooks great! I like the gold print on the lower left; and use one of the greens for the bindgin...
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jennifer... the gold for the border and green for the binding.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like it scrappy with just a segment of each of the possible border pieces.
