borders are on my aqua rail fence

I just finished putting the borders on my aqua rail fence quilt. I had several questions about selection of fabric for this, which I asked in the Main section. I had so many good suggestions and helpful comments that it made making the decisions easier.

I mainly was creating a quilt "using up" 45 darker aqua pieces that I had cut for another quit but didn't use. Those pieces of fabric felt left out, and I wanted to make them feel better. They feel loved now.

I am VERY pleased with the results. If you have been reading my threads, I have called the quilt soothingly calm. It is.

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful outcome! It was fun to walk along the path with your postings. No wonder you are happy with the outcome. The border you wound up with is perfect.
