Your thoughts/ideas ...
I saw this border fabric today and fell in love with it.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/6144452...elated-1&frs=1 I contemplated how I might use it, and thought it would make a beautiful complimentary quilt to the two chenille wall hangings I made last year to display in spring/summer. So I searched and found this pattern which I think would/could work quite nicely. http://quiltingdigest.com/showcase-a...an-easy-quilt/ It's very similar to Warm Wishes. My focus border fabric would be much wider than the Warm Wishes blocks. I welcome your thoughts and maybe other ideas … Thanks. |
Wow! I love the fabric and the pattern! The only problem I see is that your border being wider might create some math difficulties. I'm sure others here will have suggestions to make it easier.

I could be looking at this wrong, but isn't your border a true border design, which means it is directional? Will it work in both directions; i.e., up and down and across, like the sample? Won't it be upside down in one direction?

Buy the fabric, it will drive you nuts if you didn't! You will eventually think of some way to use it.

Beautiful fabric. Too nice to pass up. I agree you'll find something to use it.

I was thinking what Jaiade said about the directional aspect with the pattern you linked to.
I do like how the bold floral print is showcased by brilliant solids in that quilt pictured. Peronally I'd keep looking for a pattern that would have all the flowers "growing upward" instead of any which way. Then buy the amount of fabric to fit the pattern. |
I am not sure that this is a repeating border stripe vs a true border print that runs the length of the bolt printed along each selvedge edge with the blue solid filling the space between the selvedge edge border print.
send a message to the Etsy shop owner to verify how the border is set up. She should text you a picture of the fabric still on the bolt so you can see the border. |
check out dreamscapes one fabric kaleidoscope pattern. Looks great

The border you love is directional, the one in the pattern is not. Not sure if that would matter to you....

I have a friend who just bought that fabric to make a wall hanging. She's been trying to figure out how to use it, and one of her ideas was to have the skyline of a city in the background. I loved that idea when she sketched it out; I thought she could put a moon in there too. It looked fabulous, but she told me she's doing something else with it, which I can't wait to see. It is a gorgeous fabric.
