I am doing a three different thread colour motif in the black borders, hope to finish it today.
The meander in fine thread- was the thread a matching color to the body of the quilt or contrasting?
I've been told by way more experienced quilters than me, that when you have a very busy quilt top, then you need to do a meander or a design with much less detail to it, because you won't see it anyway with all that's going on with the pieced top.
Are your borders a solid fabric or the original fabric print?
Please post pictures. Thanks
