Thank you, really really really thank you, ladies. You are saving me. Again. :-D
I just spent a day muttering to myself "brown and boring, brown and boring". Nasty anti-creativity voice! Do we all get this??? I'm so glad a lot of you like my quilt top. I read what you wrote and now I can look at it with different eyes again. Yes it's brown, and I sort of like it again.
k3n, love your idea of the extra skinny dark border. Thank you for that.
Amma, quilting???? Sore point, heh. If I quilt this soon it's going to have to be big scraggly meanders on the centre and small scraggly ones around. :-) I'm only just beginning to practice MQ and I'm NOT handquilting this one. NOT. No way. (Except, if I decide to SID around that skinny border I may, I can do that bit more accurately by hand and it doesn't take too long...) So I may just leave the quilting for a little while until I have a bit more MQ practice under my belt!
Of course I hugely look forward to seeing other people's borders and quilting ideas, I'm sure I'll learn much!!!
