It turned out perfect. The wizards w/the silver didn't work and it was also too light. I love 1/2" accent borders. The gold is perfect, it makes the design seem to pop. So, now how are you going to quilt it? And then, what are you going to bind it with? Decisions, decisions, always have to make decisions.

Your choices made an amazing quilt. Kudos on a job well done!

It looks done to me! Would use the light fabric as a binding.

I agree withbearisgray!! Small YELLOW/GOLD border and then the Wizards!!!! I too have the exact same fabric and might ''copy'' your idea!! |
You made the perfect choice. I am sure she will love it.

Okay, everyone! All decisions have been made. It is all assembled and I am now starting to quilt it. I am doing SID around the star blocks with navy thread on the top and a silver grey on the back. Then I got some little star cookie cutters that I am going to use for templates to stitch stars in the aqua blocks, just to add some extra quilting. That will be done in a gold color (not metallic). I will post pics when it is all finished; will take me a couple days. Have a graduation cake to make for Friday for DGS. Life just always seems to get in the way of our creative processes.:D

She wanted dark colors, I'd go with the dark blue stars..........

I would do a very small border of a bright yellow, then do the outside border with the wizard fabric. I'd make the back the wizard fabric, and it should all go together beautifully. Cute quilt, btw!

Thanks everyone. Problem is, I haven't been able to find any gold/yellow that looks right with it. And yes. the aqua is Kaufmans' with a small metallic star in it. They also have it in dark blue. I still have some of the aqua, enough for a border or binding. The other stuff I have had for years, they also have metallic gold in them. The wizards has metallic silver. I am trying to do this without purchasing anything else. I thought of a 1/2" of the aqua, then the dark blue or wizards. I am not sure I like the wizards for the front, though.
I'll check out the gold blender. Judi |
