Here is a pic of my columbine quilt. I had the purple borders on, but was not really happy with the effect so I changed them to the multicolored green. I hope it's a better change. I like it better, but am not too sure, what do you think?? Here's a pic of the before and after.

Very nice and I like the change. The new border looks much better. Who would have thought the difference it would make?

Yep! Like the new border sure makes those petals pop! Nice pattern too, can you tell me where to find it?

when I first looked quickly I thought you had added a brown border & thought how can she think that is better, it's so dark-

Fixed my eyeballs & second glance showed me the printed fabric. The colors blend so well with the flowers in your windows - it's a keeper.
