I'm debating on a red flowered border or a green border for this one. It's from Thimbleberries, called "Pine & Rose Throw". I had knee surgery done on Nov 3rd and have been piecing this one together in my recovery (still unable to stand on my leg). DH set up a "sewing, ironing, cutting" station in my sewing room so I could at least sew, but it's a bit hard to move around, especially when the quilts get bigger. I'm thrilled to have at least finished it this far, what do you think???

It's beautiful. I'm glad you've been able to sew in spite of your physical limitations. May your recovery be as sucessful as your stitching.

It is a beauty. I really like it. I, too, would like to see the flowered fabric. Looking at it I think a narrow red and a wider dark green would look nice.

I like your idea, thank you. I'll post again after it's complete. I'll have to buy a bit more green for it tho.

It is gorgeous, great job. Good of Hubby to make it easier for you to sew while you recover.
