I am undecided about the border. I love the fabric, but now I am thinking that I should use a 'black background' fabric. Our quilt store doesn't have one but I could wait until I go on a trip. What say you experts? Should I wait until I can get a black fabric or use the lime green.
This pattern is from The Quilter magazine, November 2009. I have had it marked for three years.
Nothing is sewn down, no blanket stitching in black yet - that is why the eyes look a little weird.
Thank you in advance for your opinions.
Oops the hand slipped on the post too.
