I decided to try the Turning Twenty Again pattern since I had quite a few FQ's saved up and it looked like something that would be quick and easy. I laid them out to iron them and discovered that some of them had gone on a diet while they were sitting in the shelf. I cut them out per the directions and then added 4 more pieces from my stash to fill in the blocks that were missing from the cutting pattern. The pattern said to put them to gether randomly but I just couldn't do it. I didn't know I was so picky but I had to lay them all out on the floor to make sure it looked good. Then I began sewing. When I was finished, I noticed that I had only put two pieces the same next to each other so I can live with that.
Now I have to decide what to do for the border. I learned that I should have read the pattern better and plan for a border when choosing fabrics. Since I used up all my co-ordinating fabrics for the top, now I have to buy something for the outside border. I am thinking a warm brown skinny and then a wider outer autumny print??? Or should I go with a solid or a brick walk pattern? I am open for suggestions. One thing I am not good at is putting colors together which is why I seem to go for the scrappy look.

That is just gorgeous. Brown would be beautiful. You have done a wonderful job with this. Thank you for sharing.

would love to see pictures before giving opinion.

I was too quick on my reply. Love the colors.

I really like that. I think youd did a great job with your colors. I love all the Turning 20's....my favorite "go to" patterns.

Love the Fall colors...helps me feel a little cooler today!!!

I don't think it needs a border. Just add backing and binding or use the pillowcase method. It'd look pretty either way though if you decide to put borders on it

Love the colors! So Fall-ish. How about a green border?

Looks great!!!

I think a warm brown skinny border, then a print with the goldish colors in it would look wonderful.
