    Red face Update: 2nd border or not

    After several suggestions to use colors that were in the blocks I tracked down the blue and burgundy fabrics from last year's local shop hop and used them as the last two borders. I didn't have enough left from the blocks of either fabric. I was able to get enough burgundy for the backing and binding (I'm one of those that likes the binding to match the last border.) I'm thrilled with the way it turned out. The colors are not quite right in this photo.

    The original post was 2nd border or not Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions.

    Wonderful job! Your blocks sing as individuals but also play together nicely with your very effective borders. Great work!
