borders are on my aqua rail fence
 

I just finished putting the borders on my aqua rail fence quilt. I had several questions about selection of fabric for this, which I asked in the Main section. I had so many good suggestions and helpful comments that it made making the decisions easier.

I mainly was creating a quilt "using up" 45 darker aqua pieces that I had cut for another quit but didn't use. Those pieces of fabric felt left out, and I wanted to make them feel better. They feel loved now.

I am VERY pleased with the results. If you have been reading my threads, I have called the quilt soothingly calm. It is. :)

Thanks for looking.

I agree. That is the perfect fabric.

Stunning Rail Fence. Great border choice.

Beautiful outcome! It was fun to walk along the path with your postings. No wonder you are happy with the outcome. The border you wound up with is perfect.

That is one of the nicest rail fences I have seen.

It is beautiful and you are right, calming.

Beautiful and you are right absolutely calming.

That is just beautiful

Love this pattern one of my favorites. Yours is beautiful. The colors are super and the border is outstanding. Do you have the name of the border fabric. I would love some of this fabric. BrendaK

Beautifully done!

No, I don't know the name of the border fabric, and I used all but an inch WOF, so I don't have a selvage to look at. I bought it at Hobby Lobby though, and it was part of something called Earth series. The light blue is part of that series too. I think each is a "staple" at Hobby Lobby.

Maybe you can find it with that bit of information. It was up on the "wall" of quilting fabric, and I have seen it there several times. I bought this fabric two weeks ago, so it should still be available, even if it isn't a "staple."

love the calming blue colors

Beautiful !

Thanks Dina, I checked and it was there. I ordered some and excited for it to get here. Thanks again. BrendaK

I am glad you found a home for your aqua pieces. I like the name you chose. The colors are calming and remind me of the color of the water in the islands.

Gorgeous. Now I want a day at the beach! But seriously, it is beautiful and gives a sense of peace.

Beautiful. My favorite color and agreeing with everyone about the appearance of shimmering water.

Your rail fence looks so ( summery, great for a beach cabin) I love it!

Love your color choices. As you say, very calming.

Thanks again, fellow quilters. Your kind words are music to my ears. :)
