    Default What do you think?

    This is a project I am working on in between others. I'm hoping to get a lap quilt done for my sister for Xmas. This is what I have done so far. I'm deciding on borders really how many. I took this picture on my bed which is a queen size to gauge the size. There is no pattern for this I'm doing it as I go along. As you do. Love to know what you all think. It will make the other one I doing for my other sister easier to plan.

    How about a creamy? (background to the flower print) border and then bind in a purple (like the dotted fabric). That's how my monitor shows the colours.

    I think. I would add another row down the side then put borders on which will go over the sides. If not a small borde have size of the block then a deep border. Could put a small faux border in somewhere to frame

    I also think this is a nice color combo for your quilt

    If you have more of the floral, add a thin border of it and then a slightly wider border of the purple. That should top it off nicely. It is looking great!!! You have done a good job!
