I made a quilt!" but also the "what color should I use?" or "I can't decide between pin and Spray basting."<br /><br />As for all those borders...wow! I actually really like the look of the blue-pink-green in the first photo (also, the feathery purple in the second photo and the tie-dye purple of the commando raid fabrics. Are you looking for a solid border, or is piecing the border an option? Piecing the border so that individual strips of fabric "radiate outward" would allow you to incorporate pretty much any small cuts of fabric you would like. I'm talking about something like this, but with longer strips and black sashing:<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/37450131@N04/5881854703/in/pool-terrainprojects#/photos/37450131@N04/5881854703/in/pool-1702583@N23/<br /><br />My initial reaction to the blue wild-horse batik is that it is too much black, but then I remember that a lot of the blocks don't have any black in them, and am encouraged. I do really love the pink too, but since there's a man in the house it is probably fortunate that there isn't enough to border the whole quilt.RobinLovesQuiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916564818055052041noreply@blogger.com
