    Default Colorado Skies with Borders

    Several days ago, I asked for help in deciding whether to add borders or not to my Colorado Skies quilt top. I wanted to make it larger, but adding more blocks was not an option as I didn't have enough fabric.

    I decided to go with three borders. In my previous thread, I had auditioned gold, aqua and purple for the borders. As it turned out, I did not have enough aqua and could not find anymore that would work, so I went with gold, purple and a multi-colored blue/purple. It was pretty windy when we took the picture so the quilt top is a little wavy. Hope you like how it turned out.

    I was thinking purple inside but this is just perfect.
